Redoing the front steps – Part 3
I completed the front step restoration this weekend, while I am not 100% happy with the outcome it is a much-needed upgrade from what it was before.
Redoing the front steps – Part 2
I was unable to wait till the weekend to get started on the front steps, so I got out the sledgehammer… and ended up not even needing to use it. The mortar was so bad that I was able to physically pull apart the step, as well as a few other bricks that were severely damaged.
