Steps up to Porch

Not much to say here, I'll let the photo captions speak for themselves. 

Laying out three steps.  Each one will have four stones, and
  they will be angled slightly as they drop down to driveway level

With the location of the bottom step established, I set a level stick in place to
measure the total drop down from the porch.  Accounting for a 1/4" per foot
 slope on each step (for drainage), that left two risers at 4.5" each.
(Ignore the bucket-- it is only there to prop up the sticks for the photo.)

All three steps boxed out and compacted.

Beginning to bed the steps in 1-2" of sand

Laying the bricks that form the risers.  The four flat bricks in front are just to
provide extra weight to hold the vertical bricks in place while I compact
 the sand behind them.

Everything in place and getting ready to sweep sand into the joints

Ready for action!
