    Not taking away from the new home builds you do but this is near to my heart!! This gentleman is truly remaking an older home beautiful again...with your help!! She is going to be a gem in that community and I hope you capture it all. Love to see what color the siding will be. The steps turned out gorgeous.

    Great Video Steve and amazing skills. We have a set of poured steps at our cottage in the Adirondacks that was constructed around 1953. Concrete was mixed by hand and shoveled in. Not a crack in it after all these years. Keep up the great videos, my wife and I really enjoy watching!

    I remember parking my skid and using it to brace forms. And then putting 1 more brace. And before pouring we put another brace. And while pouring I wanted a few more. People don't realize the sheer amount of weight of concrete. Great looking set of steps guys and awesome video!

    Wouldn't you need a foundation to some degree to hold the weight ? If the ground sinks, the steps would be pulling on the side of the foundation no? Looks good. Also I think it would be a great idea to embed some square tub on the corners to accept a metal railing vs drilling in red heads later. Also it would give the option to easily replace the railing in the future as the bottom seem to rust out commonly.
