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?
I'm very confused by it. Also very confused by many things at this house, though. Lots of stuff straight up shouts "laziness." Like carpets that are uneven, or cracking grout around the shower or sink, or cockeyed lightswitch plates
This is what happens when someone wants to Diy everything to save money, but is too lazy to research how to do it properly and start over again if they fuck up.
There are dozens of things you will find like this over the years, just hope they didn't attempt this with anything that's really important.
IMO the easiest thing to do here is demo the steps and make new ones, which shouldn't be too difficult.
Haha nah, this is from a super shady investor hiring the lowest-cost contractors they could find. You should see the gates out front - looks like someone's cousin saw a gate once and said "sure, I can do that."
