Here's the situation...
I need to put a new step in that measures 108"x14"x6". The form for the step is three sided since the back of the step will be against the porch. The new step will be placed over a freshly sealed year old asphalt driveway. The local concrete guys don't want to mess with that small of a job. I've been putting this off but need to get this completed in the next few days.
Question #1 - How do I keep the form from moving without harming the driveway (if possible)? I thought about putting small nails into the 2x8 frame and clipping the heads off. That way I can push or pound it into the driveway to keep it from moving. Is there a better way?
Question #2 - How do I keep the concrete from oozing out of the form around the bottom and across the back? I thought about using masking tape or duct tape to form an L-shaped piece. The tape would attach to the inside of the form and the asphalt inside the form. Some of the tape would be left behind under the step once completed. Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Dick
