Hey, Rick,
Wonderful!!! I'm blue with envy -- even 'tho' I'd no longer use it much.
:-)
Be sure to have "sockets" set in the floor of the "loading dock" for the
ramp support posts. Mine are, IIRC, 4" ID and 18" deep with 1-1/2" x 18"
angle iron "feet" welded across the bottom. 24" square concrete around
each of those two below the slab. Perhaps over-designed, but I don't worry
at all about the support for the front of the GMC -- I probably put the
back end of the big diesel pusher on there if I stll had it.
By the way, I tried to call you a couple of times lately with no answer.
I'll keep trying. I'm curious how the carpenter bee traps are working out
... just had to rehang mine.
