Description
my brother in law who lives in Texas looked up the plans on the net and got a idea of what to do. he did use bigger wood to make it mor stronger but this did take 3 days to make. he on Friday dig the holes for the posts and put the concret in . the next day i came and help him put it together. On Sunday he put down the tar paper like roofing stuff down on the walk way and i took the photo two weeks later like this saturday lol That my older brother who lives in Denver, Co. he down here helping too. That my brother in law on top of the ramp. my sister if on the ground behind my brother. The two girls is my neices from my oldest son.
thought some one would like to see the ramp. . my brother in law did most the cutting and laying out the ramp. i just help out where I could. Try to cut the wood but was jaming up the saw. he say I going to ruin the blade. So he knew I could not cut. did use a drill and drill swears in to the wood
thanks for looking and comments

that shed holds the hot water tank. he put tin prints on for the walls. i think they date back to 1972. I can be wrong and be older. They use for printing press for new papers. that a new back door my brother in law put in this last friday

Like I said yesterday, these ramps are not the easy thing people seem to think. You can't just throw one together and they aren't cheap for materials either if you do it right. These are fabulous shots of what ya'll did.

that's really great woodwork and cool photos. When I saw my father-in-law in a wheelchair first time I almost broke down and lost it. but doing projects like this is a great way to deal with things.

It has taken until the 21st century for man to learn how to dismiss invalidism. Bethesda is a ramp.
