So, I bought this house a couple months ago, and need to figure out what to do about these steps. Obviously they don't line up w the door, though I have no idea why. They also require taking a pretty big first step, which makes them impracticable for a doggy door, as the little dudes would fall on their faces, as well as not being able to get back inside.

Should I knock the old steps out and rebuild them? I was also thinking maybe building a wooden patio over them. I'm not really sure. I'm extremely bad at this kind of thing, and am kind of at a loss.

Ideas?

    Having done a fair bit of construction myself, my first thought was building a patio over them. It'd be as much or more work to knock out those steps as it would be to just build over them. Plus you get a patio out of it.

      Seems to be the consensus. I'll look into the hows and stuff and figure it all out. Thanks!
