Should've made a trapdoor in it for unwanted visitors.LOL

Nice clean job though.

I would've made that platform a bit wider though while i was at it, less change to fall off if there are more than 1 person on it.
 
That looks like fresh concrete in front of the door in the last three shots. I bet that you didn't fill the whole thing up with concrete, so what did you throw in there to take up the space?
 
Danged impressive work!!

Are there railings in the plans? (Don't shoot me! As an Insurance Inspector I had to ask).
 
Dave/ Wasn't me you replied to . Seems the moderator typed in Reply to Lou from Wi.
It was show-crop. !!!/ Now I'm the original LOU FROM WISCONSIN.
 
Nice to see craftmanship done by someone other than imported labor. Well done. Hopefully this weather will dry out and warm up so I can finish my retaining wall for my paver patio.
 
Nice work! Even did a pretty good job matching the brick.... though you didn't rake the joints to match the house! All kidding aside, it looks good. I went to school right out of high school to learn masonry. I don't do much of it now but I sure appreciate a job well done.
 
I think they take the weather much better jointed instead of raked out and the owner agreed so we struck them up. The brick is not a real good match, but that is as close as we could find
 
Looks very nice.

Can I ask a simple question though? Have you checked your fingers for wedding bands and stuff? The reason I ask, is saw this Lucy show one time where Ricky and Fred made a beautiful brick barbeque, and somehow Lucy and Ethyl got involved, and somehow Lucy thought she lost her wedding band in the morter. Well, after Fred and Ricky went to bed, Lucy and Ethyl dismantled the barbeque and went through the morter searching for the wedding band they didn't find. Then they put the barbeque back together. The next morning, Fred and Ricky went out to look at the barbeque, and then Fred yelled "Oh Noooo! What happened?" and then started crying and Ricky shouted "Waaa Haaapen?" started yelling stuff in Spanish at Lucy that I couldn't understand. I would honestly hate to see that happen to you. Have you checked your fingers for rings and stuff? How about your wife's fingers? Your wife doesn't have friends named Lucy or Ethyl, does she? If she does, you just may as well take them fine looking steps apart before you go to bed. Trust me, I saw the show. It didn't end so good. Grin.

Bluestone with the cut edge up and the tread nose has a thermal finish ? There's 2 places not to far from here that are known for bluestone, one building I did on W22nd St. required quite a bit of it at the base, landmark preservation approved facade specified it from one of the 2 places. Nice looking material, stairs look solid, is that entire thing in filled with concrete or did you make a form for a slab ? I would assume once the concrete is 28 days you will attach the railings to it, and not the stone ?, just curious. Nice set of steps though, last quite awhile built like that.
 
I myself never cared for raked joints, gives water a palce to sit and freeze and start causing problems. Like the finished look of striked joints as well. Hard to match new bricks exactly, but that's pretty close and most people will never notice.
