Two weeks later, 4 tonnes of hardcore and a further 4 tonnes of sand and cement the building work of my ramp is completed. Now it sounds like a big construction job and it was but it has empowered my ability to be able to get out of the house on my own.We had the front levelled out and a discreet ramp fitted.

No longer do I need a helping hand to go over the thrsehold.
I do not even need handles on my wheel chair!

I have a level access door which basically means it is like a standard double glazed door without the 3 inch step to get in and out! ow for anybody that uses a self propelled wheelchair they know what a difference this can make. In the last week I have been out everyday even if it is just to catch some of the very little sun we have in the UK.

I have met neighbours I have never seen before, went round to my neighbours for a coffee! I basically went out the house wheel round and they were in the back and surpised to see me so we had a coffee!   So my new ramp is more than just a ramp it has becomne a way of life!
