Here's a rough sketch of the new breezeway raised deck with removable ramps. Dad needs 14 feet of ramp to get into the house and this gives him 13.5. I hope that is enough because that is all we can get and still have landings that are big enough to maneuver a wheelchair across. The other pictures are railing options. One of them is from Matt Bishop's deck (which I know dad really likes) and the other is a redwood option that I thought was kind of pretty.
I've got a new chunk of low nap carpet going in under the corian dining circle on friday and then we will get a few things adjusted in his bathroom. The ward is going to decorate the house for Christmas and Bishops are making mom soup and salad over the weekend. Anything else?
Discuss among yourselves and get back with me tonight about what you think about the rail. We're gonna getter done this week!!

I'm thinking the redwood fits your house better than the metal one. Both are really pretty.
Have fun and good luck with all your family stuff this season.
I like both, but I'd go with the not metal one.
ps - As soon as we move back to D-town we're coming for a visit!
Andi--I'm sorry to hear about this set back, but glad your Dad has such a great care-taker. We missed you at book club, and hope to see you soon (maybe a lunch with Emily over the break?)
Take care,
Lara
May you realize the blessings of being able to care for a loved one. There are challenges, but the blessings are also great! You know I've been there. Take Care. He is truly blessed to have you, and your wonderful family to care for him. Love, Brenda
Andrea...what is going on? do you need a life preserver?
