(Update) My wife wants me to put a door at the bottom of these stairs.

Good morning! Wow I did not expect my post to explode the way it did! I enjoyed all your responses. I wanted to edit my post to put some findings, but couldn't figure out how to edit. Here's a link to the original post https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/s/lpuhFLGa4t For starters in my original post I stated that I was in Georgia, but didn't clarify that I live it the state of Georgia US. I added a few pics for those who said build at the top, I tried explaining that wouldn't do but here's the proof why. For everyone saying hang a curtain or a sheet at the bottom for privacy. Ahem this upstairs bedroom is for my wife and I. We aren't so much worried about being seen as we are heard if you catch my drift. We have small children and would like to keep our private time.. private. As for the solution. I believe we are going to add a landing on the bottom about 4ft and put a wide frame door on for furniture moving and to keep from feeling claustrophobic. As you can see, at the bottom of the stairs there's about 8ft of wall currently cluttered and unused. It would not hinder anything to build a landing and enclose it. Happy wife happy life!! Thank you to everyone who commented and liked! submitted by /u/n3rdie [link] [comments]
