Upstairs is kinda the first floor. From the street you walk straight in, with a daylight basement downstairs.

I spent some time scratching my head about how to install a door on the stairs. The problem is the 12ft ceiling would require a 12ft tall door at the bottom. There's a normal door height section of the stairs half way down, but I'd need to put in some framing to hang a door, and then figure out what to do with the handrail.

There's a mini fridge and sink already. Maybe an electric griddle and BBQ on the deck would be sufficient. Baking would need to be done upstairs. 3 bedrooms downstairs, so it's a shame not to fill them up.
