On a similar note, I want to put a railing on my garage steps. Remind me, again, how to calculate slope to get the lengths of the ballisters right?

Hi Lee, You can get a variation on a theme, so to speak, from Lowes or Home Depot. They are basically strong aluminum railings that fasten onto existing concrete steps by the use of concrete screws. I installed a set on my front steps and they are every bit as sturdy as the rot iron ones. They're also easy to assemble, as they only use screws to assemble. You can order them to the length you want, taking into consideration the length of the rise, any landings you want to encircle, and any corner joints you wish to add to it. They're very cheap in cost, and, as I said, very easy to install, assuming you've got a good hammer drill. Smile.
