I want to build a ramp up the two steps to my front door so that I can bring
my mom into my house. She can't walk and she is too heavy to carry. I know
I'm not the first person in this position. I am capable of designing and
building the ramp; I just don't know what angle to make it. Space is not an
isse. I've been carrying a tapemeasure around with me in the car so I could
measure the ramps at other places but they are all commercial places and the
ramps are way long with a small grade. I was just wondering if anyone else
has done this that would share the experience so I could get a clue.

Doing a Yahoo or Google search brings up a lot of info. I had to do
something similar for a coworker one time.
