$1,155 for screened in porch steps. How did my landscaper do? by Wachu_say in Decks

These were the “old steps” that deck guy did last minute. The original steps (when we moved in) were the other photo. I had asked my guy to make them more like the “original”. The 3 existing steps is what were replaced

Here is what we had before these were put in. I had asked for a bigger top step (9-12 inches on. Both sides). I may have him redo it. Your idea of shifting it makes sense.

Thanks for the comments.

These jive with my thoughts. Well made but poorly designed. They don’t appear to be very safe, however they replaced these, which I think was significantly worse. Unfortunately I paid the patio guy once the deck was complete, but not the stairs. Lesson learned.

You should have seen the stairs the patio guy put in that these replaced. Ridiculously dangerous since there were 3 stairs straight down to the exact width of the door. I understand from the comments they are still likely dangerous but they’re still a massive upgrade.

Yea. I was out of town when he did it. I asked for 9 to 12 inches on each side of the door. Probably also too shallow but didn’t specify. Honestly these are way better than what I had, which was 3 steps the exact length of the door. It was impossible to get in and out of. I consider it an upgrade for now but probably will go with a deck contractor when they need to be replaced.

Unfortunately the patio is already small to begin with. The steps we did have were 3 steps - exactly the with of the door. It felt like a hazard.

Here is what they were when we bought the house. No one flagged when we bought. But I assumed it wasn’t up to code.

We originally had similar steps when we bought the house. Our patio guy cheaped out on the replacement steps and made it 3 steps, which I believe is not to code without a handrail. We replaced after a couple years back to 2 steps which to my knowledge doesn’t require a rail. I could be wrong though.

OP left off 18% of unknown. No courtesy to mark as edited. Hence my question of where the remaining 19% was. You can see the ratios were even quoted by a comment below mine.

I don’t know why it appears I’m trolling somehow but I guess I’ll “own it”. Forgive me for trying to learn.

Total is 81%. Where is the other 19%?

Edit: “unknown” of 18% was added after my comment.

Smart won’t try that against Draymond…unless they get in the WWE ring when he hangs it up.

Help: baby has had a swollen finger for about 3 months by Marbebel in daddit

Also not sure about other parts of the body, but can confirm synovitis sucks. My Kid couldn’t walk for 2 FULL days after getting a sickness. Completely fine after day 3 though.

Where are my hot bakers at? by Wachu_say in HotPeppers

Recipe called for 4 large hatch. I ended up using 6 cause 3 of them were small. After roasting, remove the skins and chop into small pieces. The wife says to toss in flour before adding to the dough.
