    Why bury that cable that was running along the wall? Wouldn’t it have been better to reroute it, in case access is needed to it in the future?

    Great work, I would add though they are gonna pop loose. The open centers will allow a bounce in the tread. And the brick will freeze before the tread stone. Next time fill the cavities and get a perfect smooth layer then set the tread in fortified mastic. That will stay for 100 years.
