We installed a doggy door but fat-ass, our 10 yr old wiener dog, can't make it to the door itself when going from out to in. So.... I built her a ramp today. Took me about 3 hours from design to completed product.

I used scraps from the fence we just put up to build it.

Just going to lay down some sand paper tommorow so she can get some grip and actually make it up the ramp.

How do you keep some kill crazed pitbull running in your neighborhood from coming into your house?

I assume you're talking about the dog and not your wife.

Wives that p*** and s*** everywhere are generally not accepted in good company.

You could use emory cloth for the sandpaper. It won't rot off. At least not anytime soon.

You owe me for a keyboard cleaning. Spitting coffee through my nose is high praise for this post. Huzzah.

All this? It really was not that big of a deal. Its only my second time working with wood to build something so I rather enjoyed it.

Not only that but the wife would not have left me alone until I had done something for her dog to get in and out as she pleases.

I would have just bought some doggy Depends and screw puttin in the door.

I appreciate it! But alas.... this needs to be installed tonight so unless you live in Wichita, it won't work.

Really though... MANY thanks for the offer.

Well... I'm not really into changing a dog's diaper, but if you are... then more power to you.

That ramp is better than I could do. I would have gotten a couple of buckets of dirt and made a little doggy hill.

now approaching the mythical 100 post count - whoda thunk it?

I'm thinking a small roof, a la some of the beautiful covered bridges in the northeast (and Quebec) in case it is raining and she can stay dry under the roof and just sh1t down the ramp?

MIAdragon · 11-20-2007, 03:47 PM

Damn man people are really ripping into you for this!? While I wouldn’t put that in front of my house I’ve got to give you props for two things. First for actually trying to build something. Second for posting pictures of it here, takes some guts.

I am actually surprised myself.... I did not think this thread would garner this much attention.
