Ramping up

This is a short one to demonstrate the latest project. Georgia's mom fell and broke her pelvis a week or so ago and is being released today, but she can't live alone. That of course is a big disappointment to her. For now, so she will be near her doctors, etc., she will live with Georgia's sister, Nan. To make this work, we needed to make some adjustments to Nan's house. Installing some bars in the bathroom hopefully won't be too bad (today). The last 2 days were spent designing and constructing a ramp to the front door. The second day, Josh Worden arrived. I was glad to have his help, both physically as well as with his experience at building decks, etc. Although we still need to attach "skid strips", here are some pictures of the "completed projects". Oh, yes, this project did push my hand (recent carpal tunnel release surgery) a bit too far. Will have to "lay off" a bit for a few days. I think I brought most every movable tool I own and used about half of them. Even with "the right tool", the hands still have to do the walking. (Yes, a lame take-off from an old "Yellow Pages" slogan.)
