We reset the hollow ones often, just did one two days ago. Just flip the
steps
forward. correct the footing (you could use gravel, we poured another
concrete footer), and flip 'em back. If they are solid, built in place
steps,
it's a whole different game.


what do you estimate the weight on these, dennis? how many pounds
of lift at back top of steps to flip them forward? maybe a cable or
strap to a trailer hitch of a vehicle as 'muscle' ?
