April 13, 201412 yr Yep, it does have some wood in it, too. Honey-do List included two add-ons for the porches. Got the needed supplies, some Tapcons, a drill bit FOR the Tapcons, and a plank of treated 2x10. Finally found a chuck key for the drill my Grandson brought back ( without the key or the bit holder) and found a spare tip holder. Had to do a bit of dirt work, first. Had to sink the blocks a bit into the dirt. Did I say...I HATE DIRT WORK? Any way, test fit showed i needed some more dirt on the left end. Pulled things back out, added some dirt, then had a few rocks to move out of the way. One was a "Field Goal" type of move. Once things looked better, a few tapcons were added. Step will have to settle a bit into the dirt, but a few weeks of use will do that. The "old step"? There wasn't any. This was a big first step.... Packed up the toys, er, tools for the trip around to the front porch, saw something i haven't seen in a LONG time Is THAT .....GREEN GRASS? I heard tales about it,..... Front step was a bit high between the middle step and the landing area. Board was a bit warpped but, a few Tapcons flattened it out. There is a gap back there for dirt and such to go. Yeah, yeah, should have bought a 2x12.... Had a bit of trouble with the drill bit, it wanted to go up into the chuck, instead of drilling concrete. Drill was my Dad's Craftsman 3/8" drill. I don't think my cordless ones would have done this job. Well, first outdoor project is done, i wonder how many more she will have me do....
