What happens here
In the upstairs room, a section of the existing floor is cut out using a circular saw to create the opening for the new staircase. The cut-out pieces of flooring are removed, revealing the floor joists and the space below. This creates access between the upper barn and the lower garage.
Goal: Create an opening in the upper floor for the staircase.
