Looking for advice on a DIY brick stair replacement
I am reposting because I somehow keep breaking a mod rule that I don't understand no on is telling me why. This is my best good faith attempt to fulfill all guidelines. Anyway The cement between the bricks is coming loose. I did a patch about two years ago when some came loose. When I opened it up there was only the cut outs so I don't know how they laid it down. If I'm going to do it properly my thinking is to take out the entire layer, measure the gap and put down a thin piece of shale or something, then apply coat of quickcrete, relayer either the old bricks (cleaned up) or fresh brick and then fill the gaps with more quickcrete. I would appreciate a look at my plan, critique and any tricks or tools to make it work https://preview.redd.it/2fsmibfnjgne1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3435b898efd15da80c238a826976247720d669de https://preview.redd.it/ieatfdfnjgne1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=85ed10e0786acd03317fdcdd80908c9afb945c52 https://preview.redd.it/gsh7sbfnjgne1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=181581f06d6d13bc9d8bd313680ab98ae9097328 https://preview.redd.it/5amzacfnjgne1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f8b5ecebbd3756ea0e75c0335ef73a0cea9f478e submitted by /u/Nihachi-shijin [link] [comments]
