Abstract
A concrete basement stairway is created, by positioning a stairway formbetween a first pair of concrete receiving foundation channelsand a second pair of concrete receiving foundation channelsof any size foundation, the stairway form including a single piece stairstep panel, coupled by pivotable latching members, between a pair of parallel inner stairway side panelsand, the inner stairway side panels configured to permit concrete to flow between the two pairs of concrete receiving foundation channels and spaces beneath the stairstep panel, in a manner forming a series of solidified concrete steps unified, and thus leak proof, with concrete solidified within the concrete receiving foundation channels. The stairway is formed simultaneously with the foundation so that a builder can complete the job without awaiting shipment of a pre-cast stairway requiring returning to the site. Reusable lightweight aluminum forms are employed for easy handling.
