More stones at the steps

17 - 18 Nov 2019

The weather dawned fair enough for us to get on with finishing the kitchen steps.  Dave made little mixes by hand, so we didn't end up with too much mortar, and I set in some cladding stones to hide the brick base.

 The steps with only the top stones in place.

 The lower step mostly clad.  Lots of mortar, because the stones needed to be so small, and as thin as possible.

 The lower step done - it will need cleaning up to see the stones properly when it has had a chance to dry.

Next day, the upper step completed too, but the lower step now seems too narrow.  Remedial work may be required, to extend it.
