Ramp Update for Friday the 13th

Hello!

Okay. as many of you have seen this week there are new holes in the ground and the back of the ramp is on the South Lawn. The holes have passed the city inspection, YAY!!! So now, the plan is to pour the concrete on Saturday, Sunday (after service) or Monday. It all depends on the weather.

The next step is to insert the new pieces of the ramp (which have been delivered) and finally one last city inspection. Keep your fingers crossed and I will keep you in the loop.

Be excellent to each other,

Cate

The solutions below will come out of the contractor's pocket not ours. Our cost for the ramp and installation is unchanged. The issue that still plagues us is the bottom plate the transitions the ramp to the sidewalk. The entire ramp is at the 1:12 ratio but that plate is not. So we have a few options on how rectify the situation. 1) The architect asks the city for a variance on that one piece. ( we will not bein ADA compliance) 2) We extend the ramp another 48 inches. If you want to get an idea of how far out that is there is an orange dot on the sidewalk that you can look on Sunday. Part two of that s...
