Oh, yeah, I said brick. Sorry guys.
I'll try to post a picture later as I don't currently have one. I'm renting a house and have volunteered to fix some things as I tend to be somewhat capable. But, there's an eyesore of a project that was started and not finished. What? That's never happened before?
Anyway, There's an exterior entrance into the kitchen which is right at 16" above grade. The previous tenant had started to replace the rotted stoop floor with brick. Currently, there are two courses of bricks defining the perimeter of the stoop/steps/porch/whatchamacallit. The interior of that defined space is very irregular with extra concrete and brick pieces tossed in. The level at which the second course ends still leaves to much of a rise to the door threshold to be comfortable.
So, my question is, does anyone have any brilliant ideas on how to go about completing this particular job? Masonry is NOT my favorite cup of tea to say the least. Uggh, I still have nightmares over tuckpointing my last house.
Any thoughts are much appreciated!!
Thanks,
Matt
