Pittsboro, NC

 Its time for a long overdue house project.   The front sidewalk is uneven and sunk in a few places.  Its almost 30 years old....not exactly  sure why it's misbehaving  but we plan to have a contractor rip it up and replace it.  If we get another 30 years out of it, we'll  consider it a good deal and we won't worry past 30 years!



The stairway looks OK but it's actually rickety and rotten in places. Time for a replacement. 


First step is removal, this project will take a few weeks. 


The old steps will be demolished and taken to the dump (it's pressure treated wood so we won't burn it due to the toxins).


Messy business!  Duane is going to dig out around the foundation  and re-seal the concrete blocks with thick tar as it is somewhat compromised  there. No leaks into the basement  now but want to keep it that way.


So, we will be without a front entrance  for a few weeks!

  1. Hope you have good weather for your outdoor projects. Nice to have the equipment to remove the stairs the "easy" way
