Hello from Germany, I am planning a wheelchair ramp in nearly this style, too - but for 5 steps with a platform and a turn. I think this is one of the rare videos where the posts were layed on concrete foundation. Have to do the same, because of front yard. Will use more posts, but smaller ones. Thanks for sharing!
Great job N.P.C. well constructed ... I am in Maryland and have a project similar to this one in the video it s a 5 step porch and landing configuration are close to the same this woild be for my sister n law who is haveing a leg amputated and would meed this .... was wondering if you have a materials list for this project so i can get a ballpark number on how much this would cost.. it would much be appreciated... thammk you for your time
Great, until I saw the notching of the posts. Why even bother with extraordinarily expensive 8x8 or 10x10 when you are grinding them out with imprecision and weakening them. Dovetails are great with indoor furniture. 10 year rot failure, here we come.
They're doing a great job. Per code, those 2x8 cross pieces must be fully supported by wood and connected by 1/2 inch stainless steel nuts, bolts, and washers. The workmanship is fine. At least they're using 6x6 PT posts. Too many videos show use of 4x4 posts which will fail county inspection.
When they needlessly notch out half of the post, they are weakening the entire structure down to the same as just using a smaller post. No point in using anything large if you are literally cutting away half the structure, unless they want to mark up materials and rip off the old person they are working that doesn't know any better. This is goofy. Buy 6 x 6 for 70% of the price, and skip the pointless notches entirely, and no fake rabbets to rot out in under 10 years. Also notice some overcuts in the notches, because they used a 6" circular saw instead of a band saw or table saw, meaning the crap is going to fail even faster. @@DD-dh5ls

Nice work
Would like to have seen how you finished up the lower end of the ramp
Beautiful job. Curious how many days the timelaps was. Can you share the approximate cost to build including labor?
How would you pay taxes for the income

My guess is you can’t build a bird house 😂😂😂

My guess is you can't build your way out of a wet paper bag. @@goldlinemedia967
