Well this guy over in Lakeland with an old V-20 parked out front got me the hook-up with some wood(thanks again ridge). Heres my front porch and ramp I built with the pile of wood. Took 2 trailer loads as that PT board is some heavy stuff, but got it all home. I'm no carpenter so don't critique it too closely, but I guarantee it is one heavy built son of a gun. I need to get a picture of it at night as I put LED's on the steps and ramp, and it has the landscape lights going around it. Now I have to get somebody to do some sod for me as I'm not going to be able to do it for roughly 12 weeks they said.

Really nice job!! I need one here so bad, but I can't do any of the work anmd have no hook up like you for the supplys!
My wife has a power chair but itys no good to her cause we can't get it outside its so heavy. I have been walking a little to try to keep things moving but my legs suck, stairs are not a good thing for me these days.
Again great job!!

Dude, that is one pretty deck. It almost makes me wish my house was above ground level so I could have a porch/deck like that. Really nice job. :clap:

They're not. They were using it as an obstacle course before I closed the bottom of it in. And my son was following them underneath it. So it had to get closed in. One could say I went a bit overboard with it as all I really needed was a ramp.

Way to much. I know I got a smoking deal on the wood, but it still cost me a bunch before it was all said and done. Wouldn't have been so bad if I could have done it all myself, but my nephew did most of it for me and I played supervisor(he's not very knowledgeable, but he will bust his tail and work himself to death for yeah).
