Backyard Steps

Glen's big project for the summer was installing a set of steps in the backyard on the hill into the ravine. He decided to use landscape timbers with 2.5' rebar to anchor it to the hill.


Cutting the rebar to the right lengths.




Cutting the boards to the right lengths.




Starting from the bottom and working up, stacking steps as he went.




Roger checks out the progress.




Carving each step out of the hill.




A friendly toad perched by the new steps.




Jenny laid bricks for tread in the steps.









Pounding the last stake.




The full set of 72 steps.
