Land, this is on a stoop. One of the other problems I have encountered is that the concrete is flush with the kickplate of the door..........I suppose the only way to get it bricked is to take off the whole stoop ( 4" thick )

. Do I do a thin ( inch or so ) base of concrete to get it back up to kickplate height? The whole liquid nails thing makes sense. I just want it to be the right height without "tripping"

into the doorway because of a "lip".
Thanks!
