Fixing the Front Stairs

On Christmas day last year we were walking in the door and felt the ground give way underneath our feet. The stairs had caved in... fabulous. At first I thought it meant there would be a few bricks replaced but then soon learned that it was much more involved.

Here's a few photos of the work in progress and now the almost final result.

Special thanks to my mom for watching Abby and also my Dad for his help and advice.

Before, broken :(

After we dug out all the crumbling cinder blocks.

New bricks all lined up. I was amazed at the vast variety of bricks that one can buy. The brick yard was a football field sized plot full of bricks of different sizes & colors.

Almost done... I was getting a little punchy at this point.

New entry, but minus railings (watch your step).
