    Looks great. You are a great son in law for doing this. I will keep your father in law in my prayers.

    I thoroughly enjoy watching you work. Such precision. I learn so much. Still far beyond my abilities but picking up a little more each time. Thank you Todd!

    As a long time wheelchair user your ramp came out really good. Something everyone should think about. Everyone gets older and your body is not as young as it once was so how ever you need to make your home to make easier to get around think about the future!

  • @AJohnson0325

    Another thing to consider would be to change the door knobs to lever handles. They are easier for people who are elderly and frail or people with disabilities to open, especially from a wheelchair.

    Looks perfect. We always grind all the sharp edges with a 4'' grinder with an 80 grit soft wheel, makes everything look a little better and safer with rounded corners. The only time we gap the 5/4 deck boards is when they're outside to let rain, snow, pine needles, etc. fall through easier. Thumbs up.

    Nice work. I'm going to add a short ramp on my in-laws porch entryway, this will be my first project since suffering a series of strokes 2 years ago. Lot of right side brain damage, last 30 years I built my own security company worked for myself, now I often can't handle standing at the stove to cook, lol. I'll have my 25 year old son help me

    You need edge protection to keep the wheels from accidentally falling off the ramp. It’s done either with surface of the ramp being 12 inches beyond the rail or a bottom guard to prevent a sphere of 4 inches going through up to 4 inches from the ramp surface. It’s required by ADA and A117.1 for safety reasons.

    Amazed. Really appreciate this talent. I’m needing to build one for my 81yr old mother. Thanks!

    Awesome ramp build, If you have the room the area in front of the door should always have a level landing.
