Well, with many thanks to my parents, our new front step has arrived! The picture is of Pete and Mom pouring some of the Quikrete into the wooden form. We used 12 bags of Quikrete! Most of the bags were 80 pounds apiece (poor Pete did all of the moving and lifting of them). We poured one bag at a time into each of the two wheelbarrows, added water, mixed, added more water, more mixing, and, when it was ready, dumped it into the "hole."
We're going to let the concrete set tonight and tomorrow. On Tuesday, we're going to place our paverstones on top. We should be able to glue them on Friday.
I'm not sure how Pete and I would have faired if it hadn't been for the hours of help my parents gave both yesterday and today. Both of them are a wealth of information and expertise!!
