I'm gonna need some help

-
Almost a dozen folks from SC, FL and GA came together today with beer money from
Canada, 4 (four) giant pizza's sent in from CHICAGO and construction funds sent in
from all over America..
DAMN!! that's pretty impressive...
DONE IN ONE DAY!!!!!
It's so strong you could drive a truck on it and Katrina couldn't blow it away.
The pizza was "off the chain"!!!
...and so are the folks on this website.

I may just take you up on that. I am thinking of a steel base with a wood deck. I will have the steel section built on location. My porch is 15.5 feet wide x 56 feet lng and I did that on a steel mobile home frame. It is blocked and leveled just like a mobile home so no metal or wood is in contact with the ground. I have a 28 foot travel trailer that I think will be the donor for the ramp.
 
You all did a great job finishing that in one day! Congratulations. I'm sure Bruce will love the new ramp and scooter. Hopefully he will be able to come home soon and use them. Compliments to all of you to take your time to help out (a great example of that "southern hospitality" we hear about). And everybody that helped and sent money to support you. Great teamwork including the Canadians to the north that chipped in also. Everyone chipped in all that they could afford in today's tough economy.

Waggs, you are one hell of a guy to do this for people. It's awesome to see how much you go out of your way to help other people. The world needs more people like you.

Nice job on the ramp guys. It looks great.

Is that dalmatian in the pictures the one "Keeper" that you wrestle for snoozin real estate? I love it! I just lost my battle for sleepin' real estate with mine (Skyler). I don't know how to download pics, but here is a link to his picture from Dalmatian rescue.

Here is a couple of links for my old one that I had to put down last spring named Jager. I still miss him, he was such a good boy! He was a professional "bed hog" and would take over the bed every chance that he could get.

Here's a link of him on youtube singing to opera:

This one is a little better:

Here is him trying to smile his way out of trouble when we caught him sleeping on my couch instead of his recliner:

Here is one of Skyler playing with a soccer ball and Jager laying on the sofa.

If you notice the pillow and blanket on the couch, that is because the two dalmatians would squeeze me out of bed by the middle of the night, and I would have to go to the sofa for the last half of the night. Wrestling for sleepin' space is something dalmatians are good at....

Looks Great!! Nice Job guys, gals and "Keeper".
 
Awesome job guys, that is a ramp!! Heartwarming to read this this morning, on the 10th anniversary of 9-11. What a great bunch of guys, and thanks to technology we can all share this.
 
Bruce is going to be so impressed when he sees your work. That is a great ramp. I am really proud of all of you who were involved.

Looks cool! The kid and the dog look like they are having fun. Most of our dalmatians loved to cruise. It's just a little difficult to get the fur out of the carpet... It's a small price to pay for their companionship.

Man, your pizza idea was just stomp ***. I bet they were good. That was awesome of you.
 
Whew
Man, that was a full day I'm here to tell you.
My thanks to everyone that showed up, that was a team effort. It could not have been done in 1 day without a team working on it.:thumrigh:
My thanks to everyone that contributed to make this happen.:thumleft:
My thanks to Karl for pizza! :hello1: Never had Chicago pizza before. You guys like the cheese don't you? I probably won't be able to take a crap for a week!
It was truly great to meet a fine group of folks.=D>
My hat's off to you, Waggs, for puttin' this together.:salute:
C
 
Made it home safe and sound today around 3 pm. Thanks goes to Cal for letting me stay over at his place and feeding me!! lol

Great pics waggin!!
 
It was great meeting members in person. Thank God for clhyer and mullimax95, ther true carpenters. It was great to meet tucker jr, mrbill00 and of course Curtiss (again). That windmill about kicked our A$$! I think it had 9' spikes in the ground! I had my douts that it was going to get done in one day but it did. Clhyer had it all drawn out and was dead on with the material list. I did get to go to the Hospital along with Curtiss after we finished to meet Bruce. All I can say is he is quite the character and I hope he is out soon. It was a life experience I'm glad to be part of. And the pizza was great too.
