Obviously the cinder blocks are a temporary solution (but they work!). I want some nice stone steps, but maybe some pressure treated lumber would do the job too.

I’ve been looking online for some howto’s because I have never set stone steps…

Still working on this, it’s pretty tough to cut 16″ tiles diagonally.
