The stairs don’t affect the square footage as I move them to the exterior.

well, being completely honest even when nobody is looking is a good start. honesty will get you trust. where there is no trust, there is no honesty. trust is important so honesty is even more important. what if you couldnt trust that next stair you were about to step on to hold you up. what if it failed 5% of the time. youd never make it up those stairs i bet. this is why trust is important...but complete honesty...which is what gets you trust....is even more important.wheww!
