I installed plywood sheathing over the exposed stairway framing after running a pair of new outlets to each side on a new circuit. To the wall, I attached a workbench top; it was from a section of the bunk beds I made for the boys when they were small . The temporary leg shown in the middle will be replaced by a nice pair of adjustable steel legs which should arrive next week. I repeated the process on the other side of the stairway where I have provisionally set up my miter saw.
