Our Ramp Project

Yes, that is me helping. We designed and built a ramp to go from the cellar floor, up the concrete steps, to the outside. This will make bringing the lawnmower and wheelbarrow in and out much easier. Not to mention the annual great Pellet migration from where they drop the pallets at the top of the backyard into the basement where we store them for the winter. I have to admit, it was frustrating that just about all I could do to help was hold things while Raendi did all the heavy work. But, I did contribute significantly to the design and the troubleshooting, so I wasn't completely useless.



And here is Raendi and Pepper with the almost finished product. What we don't have a picture of is the completed project. The ramp has traction tape on it now and Raendi made a nice handy little "dolly" to help move it in and out of the basement as we need it.









Here's Raendi looking all Heroic. He really did a great job. :)













Just so you can see the part that actually goes into the basement. The boys will be giving it a good workout on June 13th when our 6 tons of pellets are delivered. That will be the true test of the design. *crosses her fingers*
