Hi there
We had a great time building the steps. Everyone jumped in and helped do something. Even the grandkid helped pound down the gravel and sand, as well as adding sand to go in the spaces and sweeping it so it fills them up.
We actually have finished up the steps and they are a major improvement over the steps we build 20 some years ago. Those were initially great but had worn out and rotted so they were no longer safe to walk on. The DIL asked for steps for a Christmas present. We were happy to oblige since I had some time off from school.
So the picture is the steps in progress. Four steps and the landing. Step Five has been added and now we just need to move some of the excess dirt to another location... Fill gopher holes around the yard? Another endless duty.
Once we get the extra dirt moved we will be on to the next project. We do need to get the front yard looking good so I have been cleaning it up and putting in some new plants. A friend asked to be married in our yard - not the first wedding here. So we will be on to something completely different.
Never a dull moment.
