Ramp

My dad got a new shed about 10 yrs ago and he built a ramp so that the riding mower could get in and out.  Over time and many seasons of flood irrigation, it basically rotted.  So, Boyd and I offered to fix it.

 This is a cool view of the mold under the wood.  Looks like a piece of art to me!

 I don't have a picture of the bottom section, but it was certainly the worst.

 We took out all the boards and replaced them with redwood 2X4's.

 Pressure treated lumber for the 2X4's to rest on.

 Added gravel under all the places wood was touching the ground.

 Kind of handy to have a helper whose foot is exactly 12 inches long.  Makes for a great spacing tool!

 We used the EXPENSIVE decking, but it shouldn't rot. Did you know if you use your left-hand to build, it is good luck?  Yep, that's right! And Boyd put all those hours of watching the home repair shows on KUED to good use! 

And, now a finished ramp for mom!
