So Close You Can Taste It...

If Dad can walk on it, you know it's almost done. AND IT IS!

One more afternoon's effort to lay down some plywood here and there and the "ramp" will be done. I can't express what a weight off it will be to finally be done, and Paul's assistance today was absolutely critical. Dad meanwhile was cutting some supports that we later screwed beneath the 2x6 rails, and later with Tasha's assistance he trimmed out the ramp inside the front door to make for smooth wheel transport into the house.

Guy came by and offered to finish out the circular driveway, and half was done earlier this week when he pulled the Polara and Ford flatbed down the hill to the meadow by the shed. Once we move the lumber out of the way (tomorrow evening), he'll be able to smooth out the rest of the circle and the approach will be completely ready for Mom's Wednesday homecoming. There is talk of having her come home for a couple hours on Tuesday for a "test visit", but we talked about it and it seems silly to go to all that trouble just to have her go back to Maryville for another night. Thus, Dad's going to call and ask that she either be able to come home for good on Tuesday or skip the Tuesday visit and just come home for good on Wednesday. At this rate all will be ready for her tomorrow night so either option should work from our end.
