The Ramp Project is coming along nicely. All of the footing-holes have been dug (Okay, fine, there's one left. But it's underneath the existing deck, so I don't think roots will be a problem!), and the weather should be good for concrete pouring on Thursday. And curing on Friday. By Saturday, it will be ready for work on the structure - the posts, the timber between each pair of posts, and the spans connecting the pairs to each other.
That leaves us with two weekends, and possibly the two weeks as well. In that time, the only really critical tasks are the planking upon which one can roll or walk, and the edge curb that keeps one from rolling or walking off the ramp. Code demands that we also install guard and hand rails - if we're really lucky, we can fit that into the last weekend, since it shouldn't take long. If not, then the ramp will still be complete enough for me to move in, and the finishing touches can either be put on during Work Weekend in February, or postponed until a better time - spring break or summer.
Wahoo!
