Hello,
I am planning to finishing my basement. It is already 30% frammed. While planning, one of my key concerns is to bring 1/2" drywall preferablly 4x8s into basement. Stair case has a 180 degree turn and is about 7' wide.
I tried taking a 4x8 plywood board into the basement the other day as a trial and was uncessful to do so. I wont stand vertically on the landing so makes it impossible to turn. So I think i would need to look for alternatives to take the draywall down.
Basement has two full over grade windows each 5' wide and 3' tall and slide open to 2.5' clear.
Also, there is a 4x4 egress window about 2' out of well.
First floor has mostly hardwood so opening a panel in floor to slide drywall down might not be an option.
Could cut the center wall in the stair case to some exten but it would still be difficult to take drywall down.
So all that said. What do U guy suggest. Can windows be used some how to bring the boards in? Could egress window be taken out to have 4' wide clearence? or other sliding windews could be taken out to have 5' clear and reinstalled later. The hosue was build last year so everything is fairly new. Looking for some help here.
Thanks all.
