I am trying to figure out how to build a ramp uo to my tool shed. It
ink I need to cut a few 2x4s on a diagonal to serve as joists. How do
I do that?


Carefully. Do you have a hand saw or table saw? In either case, set the
blade to the angle you want and rip the length of it. If using a handsaw,
you may want to tack nail it to another 2x so you have support and can put a
guide for the blade. Tablesaw makes this a simple task. If you don't have
one, perhaps a neighbor will do it for you.
