Front steps

We had plain brick front steps but they did nothing for the curb appeal and did not go with the style we are looking for.
This was a major project to take down. The bricks were stuck to a concrete form that was connected (and poured in place) to the house. Si has been working hard in the evenings to get all the brick steps apart. Yesterday Sierra and Pete had to rent a jack hammer to get the concrete off.

Today, Sierra is pouring a larger concrete slab, as the steps will be larger than the existing steps. He dug a huge trench all the way around for proper drainage.

I'm lucky to have such a handy and hard working hubs. One day at a time. :)
The new steps will be granite!
