replaced our wood porch with a spiffy new one in september since were getting old installe a ramp rather than steps......


worked and looked great, easy on bad knees, deiveries of fridges etc big improvement.

friday morning wife fell on ice on ramp. she fell went boom, and is hurting today..

cant seal area till spring, so the outdoor wood dries properly

am wondering about some sort of heated pad or carpet that would be warm enough to prevent snow and ice accumulation....

need something 4 feet wide and perhaps 20 feet long.

room mate fell on her butt, couldnt get up so she slid on her butt to the bottom.

any good ideas?

the ice was a very thin layer, like frost on a car

May be time to start thinking about selling the Old Manse and moving
into an assisted living facility. Mr. Thinking Box seems to have
stripped a gear....building a porch ramp like that in snow country ;-)
