I have a stack of old railroad ties and I need some stairs built up a hill behind my house. Anyone on here for hire???

Might want to give an idea of where the ties are located, top of the hill or bottom? 10' long each? Those things are heavy as lead.

Top of the hill......... I will post pics.

I will help with the labor. I just need someone who has done a project like this before.

Been there, done that (and several times, mind you) but probably not my best decisions. I used them because they were a cheap option at the time. Even though they were heavily creosoted, they still slowly rotted/decayed, and became a nuisance. I am in the process of removing several sets at my lakehouse now, plus a couple of sets that are 6x6 pressure treated, and will be replacing them with concrete retaining walls and steps. If you are not looking for a long-term solution, they are a cheap option to something more permanent.

Just my two cents worth (with forty plus years of having been there, done that, and just a few of my regrets).

Thanks for the insight.
