Finally, a comm for that one user who hand-makes longbows. This ones for you, comrade.

We have these 2 paver steps that are awkwardly tall. I'd like to add 2 steps to this by adding another layer of pavers to the lower step here, then adding 2 steps going off of that.

Would it be a bad idea to just lay the new steps directly on the existing ground level patio steps?

I've seen mixed guidance on using construction adhesive vs just polysand. Any thoughts on that?

Polysand is shit, please don't use it. I used it for some driveway edging and shit is now all over the place just two seasons later. I pressure washed my brick and put in polysand and the weeds are now growing through.

Skip it and do the adhesive. They make a special kind for pavers so make sure you get the right one

I appreciate the blunt advice, that would really suck to deal with.
