    Finishing off my steps help

    Yes i thought of the trip aspect, but it's only half of the half rounds (if you get me ) showing, so your foot can't get caught under it. also they saved me a whole step :) I was going to put some concrete down the edges as the gaps need filling, would this be ok to do?
