Here are some of the before pictures of the work my dad mostly did and we helped a little. Our front stairs had sunk ten inches and were just an accident waiting to happen so 4 1/2 years later we finally decided it was time to stop putting the project off and fix the hazard. Our back stair was crumbling away and so we fixed that and then my dad also installed new entry dorrs for us. We can't thank him enough for all the work he did he was up at dawn and worked until dusk. Carson was so cute he just wanted to be outside "helping" and the kids loved to play in the back of grandpa's truck. So after four days of rigorous work I now have beautiful new stairs, some handrails (handmade by my father), and two awesome new doors. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU DAD!!!! We put a sidewalk ramp all the way from the back step to the back yard, we wanted to have a spot to put extra cement if we had some and we ended up having plenty so my joke is that we made a handicap ramp so go into the stairs!!! It is nice to have the sidewalk all the way to the back yard though. In the back yard we had an open spot that we had rocks piling up in and we filled that with cement too and now I have a nice place to put my lawn furniture. It is always nice to be able to make improvements on our house and we are so excited for the ones we were able to do this summer.

Sarah, your two doors are beautiful and all of the sidewalk/stair/patio cement looks great! Wow I can't wait to see it! So glad for you all to get this done. Love the front door. It is sooooo pretty. I'm a little jealous.
Love the all the improvements. I can't wait to see them in person. I especially appreciate the front steps. I was thinking about my last year visit, they were kind of steep. Now, those added steps are just the right touch. The back yard looks great, too!
