Ever since K put the patio door in last fall, we've had only a simple wooden step outside of the door. It was just one step, so it was kind of a big jump. And by this summer, we'd used it enough that it was becoming a bit rickety -- it wasn't really anchored in well.
The siding around the door wasn't finished, either, which didn't bother us much. It was kinda ugly, but we figured we'd re-do the siding some day and it would get finished then. But... our new insurance agency didn't like the un-finished-ness of the patio door area, and said we had to fix it because it wasn't "fire safe." Hmm. OK... K knows the codes and didn't see a problem with the way it was. But since we like our new policy, she said she could just fix it. I offered to take a bunch of pictures so that our agent wouldn't have to run out to our house.
But, wow, I'm glad she fixed it!! I love our new step, and the house looks neater with just that simple white trim.

K anchored the steps into the asphalt and to the house, so they're really sturdy.

And the treads are made of Brazilian ipe, so they're really beautiful.
