I've been trying to avoid that because the area under the step will not be accessible for cleaning. Water and dirt will accumulate and rot the step support from the inside out.
I can't use concrete because the building codes won't allow me to pour concrete against the band board.
The steps are both 7 1/2 inches high. I think the reason people tend to step long is that they have to step over the door threshold and the tracks for the sliding door.
