My elderly neighbor was struggling to use her front door because the walkway had pulled away from the porch.
So I ordered some hand rails and got some pavers and made her a half step so she can safely use her front door and walk her dog.
You are a hero. I managed recently to injure myself enough that I'm in some pretty severe pain, and can't do many of the usual things I just don't even think about generally. It's not that hard to remind myself "don't use that fucking arm!" but it's been brutal to me mentally because of the independence factor.
You gave your elderly neighbor back a ton of independence, and that makes more difference than you might expect to a person. Thanks for looking out for your neighbor.
Thank you! She tried to pay me like $500 for the work, and I had to return all the extra money after the cost of materials and explain that the Labor was the gift. Lots of tears. She is super sweet, lost her husband at the start of Covid and has children, but none of them are really independent. So we keep an eye on her and I send my kids over to assist any time she needs it.
Haha that dog is giving the "hurry up" face
Good work, anon
Beautiful work! Very kind thing to do.
Thanks it's my first "masonry" project so I was happy that it looked as good as it does. I'm going to go over it with a wire brush to clean it up a bit more.
That's a very good thing you did.
