So, *this* happened when DH went to hang the Christmas garland around the front door back in December. This is the top level/platform of our front porch. We had a general contractor come take a look, and he thinks the steps are original to our mid-1960s house. They built it up with dirt underneath the bricks, and after 50-ish years, it has simply settled. The settling also caused some cracks between the bricks, which further increased the settling, and with the focused pressure from the ladder legs, it just finally gave way. But tomorrow, things will be better!
