Build a wheelchair ramp for Heinz in Kassel

Help Heinz regain independence: a simple ramp build.

Kassel
Heinz has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Heinz can only go outside when two neighbors are available to lift the chair. The materials (treated timber, screws and non-slip surface) have been donated by a local lumberyard. We need a carpenter or two to measure, cut and build, plus a helper or two. The ramp has to meet the building-code slope requirement, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate six hours of work. Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Heinz's family will cook lunch for the team. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

              Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Kassel!
