This is what they’ve taken from you. The Lally family is happy with their ramp but requests that skateboarders stop riding down it. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Nov 30, 2023 |

It’s not even hardly “installed,” you can literally rent ramps by the month. That pic look exactly like those temporary metal ones. otoh there does seem to be some kind of gravel base so who knows

I was in the stock room just moving boxes and got "promoted" to shop floor when it turned out I knew more than the other teen they'd hired for that and they moved him to the basement instead. I said it somewhere else but I cannot stress enough how unprofessional a workplace that was.

Slugworth posted:Made a thousand bucks selling a ramp that was installed on the house we bought that was 6 feet long and 6 inches high. I can't imagine the cost of that pictured monstrosity. Forty thousand pounds sterling. It was made for a girl who was eight years old in 2014, and it was still in use by her as of 2019.

peanut posted:We need to add a slope to the side door on grandpa's house. Please share success and horror stories of home modifications for wheelchair and accessible use. My grandmother had an access ramp at her home that was several feet high, enough to need multiple switchbacks, but I guess the builder deemed those too expensive, so they just built two very steep runs. The wooden decking surface became covered with algae due to being in a woody shaded lot. After my grandmother fell, broke her arm, and was stranded for hours, the person who built the ramp nailed two rows of asphalt shingles along the center of the ramp, an ingenious solution that made accessing the front door as simple as traversing a roof.

I would do that at the parts store Girl that worked with me knew Chevy 350s in and out but people would refuse to go to her line Even if I knew a more basic answer I'd turn to her and ask the question Lot of people would get mad that I didn't know as much as a mechanic and it was like duh, if I did I'd be a mechanic and make more money

I've been tempted to tell people to gently caress off when that happens so I can watch them ask for the manager, have them meltdown point me out and the manager tells them "that guy doesn't work here", but I'm too nice for that.
