I had a 70 1/2 Camaro that I tore apart and put back together, several times, LOL. Can't do that anymore !

I just built my dad a wheel chair ramp in his garage. It was reengineered like 4 X LOL. I was totally unprepared and uninformed on what it would take. I had a little 2 hour job in mind. It took 2 days and 3 or 4 trips to Lowes. 

The drop from the floor level of the house to the garage level is 4 steps, it's like 3 feet or so. The first ramp I built was sorta like riding the beast at kings island haha.  Compounding the problem is the furnace is right in the way. But after some busted knuckles, wasting two entire 29/32 sheets of plywood and like 30 2x4's later I finally got it.

I'll try and post some picks later.
