CUTTING THE OPENING FOR THE STAIRS If you are putting in a staircase, the first thing that needs to be done, is to cut out the opening, in the MIDDLE FLOOR for the stairs to go to. Measure from the end of the middle floor 12 inches and
draw a line across. Measure 2 7/8 inch from the line you just drew and
draw another line across. Measure 6 inches in from the back and draw
and draw a line between the other 2 lines. That sounds very confusing.
Refer to the diagram and things will be clear.
