Any plans/instructions availble for DIY? Pros and cons?

Since concrete blocks are 8x8x16 it should be EZ to make then from
concrete blocks. I actually use one like that on my porch, stacked
loose and not even cemented together but I recommend you do cement them
together for stability

One of my neighbors has something like that at his back yard.

He did pour a base to get it all nice and even. Then he mortered the
blocks in place. To make it look nicer, he then used a decking type
wood and covered the stairs with that. Looks pretty nice actually!

I'm sure that worked well, Carol, and I'm sure that it looks nice.
However, I want these stairs to look more like the stairs poured for a
stick-built home. Thanks, though.
