For those that are curious ...

here is how the a-frame and the rear exterior stairs "fit together":



This is how it would look approaching the stairs, given an average 5' eye level height.

Behind the "maze" of staircase componets is another sliding glass door on the first floor.

Not a too terrribly attractive view out of that bedroom, but I guess one could slide the staircase over to the right some.

Now the master bedroom on the second floor has got a great view!!

Imagine being on that balcony over looking some mountain valley, or even just the woods in southern New Jersey. :=3
