Quoted from MikeS:That was something I considered as that is a great option to have, but I figured that since the basement is a walkout I should be able to avoid stairs about 9-10 months of the year when there isn't snow on the ground. For the inside staircase I made sure to make it a straight shot with no walls or quick turnarounds to worry about.
Walkouts are the best that is one thing I wish my lot would have been able to accommodate.
Good Luck with the build!!
