As always good work by volunteers from the Texas Project Ramp project, who give up their Saturday mornings to make the world a little bit better place: Paul Sughroue , Kay Lovelace , Sam Lomeli , Kim Canney , Karen Fruhwirth , Beverly Ford , Mai Loan, John Saxon, Marty Baleux and Steve.
BEFORE — with Paul Sughroue, Kay Lovelace, Kim Canney, Sam Lomeli, Beverly Ford, Marty Baleux and Karen Fruhwirth.
AFTER — with Marty Baleux, Paul Sughroue, Karen Fruhwirth, Kim Canney, Kay Lovelace, Sam Lomeli, John Saxon and Beverly Ford.
The all crucial first module, from which the entire ramp flows . . .
The ever-patient Paulie explaining to moi how to do it correctly.
Sam does a QA of the work at about the mid point.
Karen and Mai puttng up the uprights that will hold the handrails.
A ramp is only as good as its end. After magically transporting all the left over paving stones, Sam and Martin create a path through the mud and muck to the driveway.
Ta da. Good work lads . . .
