I've had a rather accomplished DIY day so I'm feeling froggy and looking at more projects I need to get done.
The steps in front of our home have a pretty noticeable slope to them. They were quite precarious this winter.
(yes, the level is pink/purple...it's my wife's)
They appear to be concrete of some sort and are insanely heavy. I've come up with a few options to solve the problem. Maybe someone more experienced can help me decide.
Option 1: Lift them and fill under with something(dirt? rocks?). Downside: I don't even know how to go about lifting them with as much as they weigh.
Option 2: Put more concrete overtop of them to level. Downside: Will it stick? Will they keep sinking?
Option 3: Build over them with wood. I don't think I'll have the traditional problem with riser heights being off because of how far they've sunk. Downside: Again, will they keep sinking?
Option 4: Completely remove them and start over with wood or concrete. Downside: Lift them? Break them? LOTS of work.
Option 5: Something I haven't thought of?
