I repurpose the original steps to lead into the new verandah floor level, the concrete pad is still to be placed underneath.

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net I can’t tell, are these steps brown or purple? What kind of wood is that? Nice garden!

Lyse, that is the camera quality, the timber is hardwood Eucalyptus, either Yellow StringyBark, or IronBark, both very long enduring timbers commonly used in steps.

@off_grid_living@twtxt.net Ah, ta. Just had a look at some high resolution photos of those timbers. How gorgeous. I suddenly feel like building something in the woodshop.
