A friend of mine recently retired (last week) has a 92 year old mom that needed to get up a few steps. So she asked me if my LJ bro and I would build a ramp. The result works very well. Covered the 3/4 inch c/dx plywood with green indoor outdoor. Had some some left over t-111 for the skirt and some left over osb for the non -visible portions from the street. The total rise was 12 inches so the total ramp came out to be a little over 13 feet. Still needs a hand rail that will come later.

Good job Bob for using left over material. Having made a large number of wheel chair ramps may I suggest putting some bumper boards on each side until you get the hand rails installed. I’m a former resident of Tustin just next door to Santa Ana.

Looks good, will look a lot better, and be a LOT safer with the hand rails…
