Seeking recommendations for repair/replacement of deck steps
Moved into a house this year where the steps to come off the deck are made from bricks that appear to be glued (not mortar). We had a brick come loose when my spouse stepped on it and then found a few more that are loose. Is it safe to look for other loose bricks and then use a better brick adhesive or should we just redo the steps completely using either wood or brick & mortar? Repair seems like a lot less hassle but I'm not sure steps made from glued-bricks are a safe idea. Attaching a photo showing the loose brick and what was left of the adhesive previously used... https://preview.redd.it/wmx5wr2ftbke1.jpg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e5be0b425ff0a39d254c3bfb813f50224138c43 submitted by /u/lrpfftt [link] [comments]
