Getting ready for Dad to come home!

Corey and I mixing the concrete
Stir!!!
Digging the holes (this is where we kept breaking the water lines)
Measuring???
Corey fixing the water line breaks
Platform---attaching to the porch
Michelle and Austin building the ramp
This baby is going to be so secure!
It's starting to look like something!
Pretty good eh??
Nice lookin' ramp! The Halls can think outside the box!
Austin and I stomping the dirt to pack it down to go on the ramp
Test Run #1----up up we go!

Coming down is kind of scary!


Well, we don't know when my dad will be home from the hospital, but Corey, Michelle and Austin came down this weekend to help build a wheelchair ramp for my dad and grandma. My dad won't be able to do much, let alone climb the stairs to get inside my parent's house. Anyway, we had no plans and with all of our input, we were able to conjure up a wheelchair ramp. It took 2 days because of many setbacks (waterlines busting) but we got it done! I think it looks pretty good and very sturdy! We even did some test runs to make sure it will hold us :) Can't wait for my dad to get back...but here are some pictures of it :)
