Our front door is half way up between the first floor (slab on grade) and the second floor. It opens onto a landing with stairs leading up and down. The builders put a concrete structure with outside stairs from grade to the door. But there's no roof over the structure and the stairs are too steep and what I think you call the "treads", are not deep enough. It's hard to justify fixing part of it, without it turning into a major project which we simply don't have the time for at the moment. However, since we live where it can easily be wet from Oct until the end of April, I figured I'd put a plug in encouraging people to design a practical porch area from the start!
