Learning the hard way.



Some people just need to learn things the hard way. I so would not trust ANYTHING on that. Could you imagine having your IDI on this thing?

It depends on the steel being used. It's not a bad idea at all and gives me something to think about since I have a nice hill right by my shed.

Bubble gum or gorilla glue?

I do use 2x6's stacked three high and screwed together. Then I cut an angle on one end and screw in a 2x4 sideways at the other end on top for a wheel stop. Those are my ramps. It is about 5' long. Better than the crap you buy at the store, SCARY and cheaper too! LOL
