I started this project in October 2011 before going indoors. Lori thinks we need stairs going down from the Kitchen deck to have better access to the lower deck. I guess that makes sense so we won't have to take food and stuff out through the front door and around the house to the back or take it through the livingroom to the stairs, go downstairs and wind through the boxes and then out the basement door. With the pad all poured for the bottom of the stairs I was able to finish the brick patio earlier this spring. Now for the Stairs Project.
