I purchased an old house a few years ago and didn't know how really bad the problems were. Need some tips, or suggestions.
First thing, my front steps are basically falling off the front deck. I've had a hip surgery two weeks ago and I'm having a very hard time getting around. I need somehow to make a railing that is strong and lift the steps some how.
I've been trying to think of a quick easy fix to get me by till my hip has healed. Its very slippery with snow and ice so the railing is most important to me. Just doing the railing on the driveway side.
I was thinking something like 4x4's some how attached to the outside of the step and a 2x4 or something like that.
If someone knows the calculations also for steps and the rise and could explain it to me that would be great. Just trying to think ahead for when I can actually fix them.
