Dan, After all this with cement and blocks, why wooden steps, I assume they'll be out doors, why not cement ones. Can't be that hard to form those up after all the huge labors you've done.
Seems like the 4x4 boxes should have had J bolts on them not just spikes, if you lean on the railing, it's gonna want to pull up on that spike isn't it? J bolt wouldn't pull up through the cement? Too late now of course. After all you're doing to that house, You're gonna double the value I bet, hope it's worth the effort, but then you're doing it for the fun aren't you <GRIN> Tom
