Concrete Step
I need to add a small 4-1/2 " high step to an existing concrete sidewalk.
Where the sidewalk meets the porch my dad has trouble stepping up to the 9" porch step. My thoughts were to pour a step about 4-1/2" high and 16" deep on top of the side walk to cut the stepping distance in half for him. My plan was to drill a few holes in the old sidewalk, drop a few pieces of rebar in there to hold the new step. And just build a form for the step. I was going to use Quikrete and just smooth the top with a trowel, figure that will leave a rough enough surface so he doesn't slip in rain. Does that sound like a good plan? Thanks, Brian -- |
