We have had bad walkways on our property since we bought property 40 years ago.So we finally decided to go ahead a have the walks repaced.This man had replaced my garage floor ten years ago. We hired him to install walks for the city,which the city is suppose to pay for, and and walks from street up to house.He dd ok but I went out to ask about the height of the steps from street to the house. We talked about these steps months ago about I wanted the steps done.When I went to ask about the step height there were two people on site and I said these steps aren't right.They said the boss will be right back and the cement will be here in 30 minutes. When I talked to the boss 10 minutes later when he showed up he said one of the guys I informed about the step height had rode to the site with him.That didn't work for me because the boss wasn't there when I told the two workers about the step height. Evidently the boss had left after dropping off the guy that he said rode with him.. Any way the truck was coming and they poured the walks the way they were with both one step steps 9 inches high. He had a discussion about this and he said he could drill into the cement 9 inch step and intall rerod and add another short step. When this man did my garage floor he said he would install rerod around th outside to attach the new cement floor the the fringe around the outside of the garage that he had cut a foot from the wall so he could remove the old garage floor that was cracked. Your opinions on how the tall one-step steps can be made better.Nowhere in the area are step that height at the most 7 inches In my opinion the cemen truck should not have been ordered intill he talked to me.I am paying the bill. Thanks for your time and opinion.

The previous homeowner added and up and down garage to the house roughly 30 years ago and the top garage drained into a hole in the bottom garage floor, and doesn't appear to run out anywhere. The cut the pipe from below, rendering the drain useless. I would like to fix this so I can utilize the drain in my garage for the winter. I don't feel confident running this into the floor again so I though I would run it outside. I only have one direction to run the drain though and it would require going through about a foot of concrete, unless I ran it under the garage door. What are my options to get this fixed?
