Begin by closely inspecting the existing brick steps, as shown from 0:13.000 to 0:32.000. The video highlights how bricks laid flat for treads tend to deteriorate due to water penetration, especially in climates with freeze-thaw cycles. The plan is to remove these problematic brick treads and replace them with solid limestone caps, which will provide a more durable and weather-resistant surface. This initial assessment helps in understanding the scope of demolition and construction required.
