i decided to post the ramp build in days, and let the pictures sort of tell the general story. start at the bottom of each. here's day 1

at the end of a long day, it was clear that the ramp would not work where it was. oh man. it was also clear that it was a wise move to be making the changes or the thing would have been ruined! we called a few people to help and agreed to meet the next morning to get the little one out of the way, and drag the big one into its place where it would be easier to level out and then rebuild properly.


inside the barn out back




ender trenching too, always helping


shyrey and lou showed up and helped with trying to dig out trenches for the ribs to level. skating a warbly uneven ramp is dangerous by the way.


so took it all off, sliced the plastic to drain



all the way down to standing pools of water! that won't mess anything up tho..right!



and began finding moisture in the warping



concerned about rain damage and how poorly the ramp was put back together here, i started unscrewing it a bit to have a look.
