I Built a Couple of Ramps to Help Bring in the Wood...

[velvetfoot]

...and used my new finish nailer!
There'll be less lifting and will help my wife bring in the wood.

Anything that makes wood hauling easier for her is a good thing.

???Does she have really small feet??? lol

Not trying to rain on your parade but... that doesn't look to me like it would help anyone, unless you were rolling rounds through the doorway?

that's a 'ramp' for a wheeled dolly of some sort ?

Is it removable ?

Anyone walking out could have a nasty fall on that if it stayed there all the time.

 

[velvetfoot]

Yes, it is for a wheeled dolly.
It is removeable.
The bottom piece is a 2x8. If you know it's there, it doesn't seem to be too hard to step over.

 

[WoodPorn]

In that case I retract my previously placed statement and would like to replace it with a ...Nice Job!!

 

[Mike Riddle]

Looks smart

 

[velvetfoot]

It does make it easy to drag up the dolly filled with wood - otherwise I have to semi lift it.

It doesn't look that good though, but I'm not sure paint would improve it.

Your wife brings wood into the house? That is amazing in itself. I have to stock a wood ring near the stove, or the wife refuses.

 

[velvetfoot]

Hey, believe me, it's not much and not often.
I feel I have to encourage this trend in any way I can though.

that's what it looks like : 2x8 / 2x6 / 2x4 / 2x2
I've had one for a dolly with bicycle wheels
(and a similar one for trucks to drive over the curb without damaging or compromising the stone)

I've also forgotten it was there and fallen on my arse.

You're only supposed to do those sorts of things once, too.

You speak with the voice of experience, and I'm sure I'll do the same thing!
