NO he just dicks around. Instead of going to get more pieces last night at Lowe’s he decided to wait till this morning. He will be heading over when the rain starts. I’m telling you that’s exactly what he’s doing.
He doesn’t give a shit that I’m stuck in the house.

Just make sure he has a building permit, and they will make him do it right. They don't fool around with ramps.....and honestly they usually cost thousands of dollars to build....depending on the height of course. Those aluminum ones are sweet, and often you can find them used.

I had looked into building one for a tenant years ago, and once I found out the cost and all involved I declined to do it....They wanted me to do it for free / cheap on a rental with a 1 year lease!!

Good luck...I hope you are free soon!! Til then, get lost in dabland :bigjoint:









Looks like a pretty damned nice week!!

I asked WB if he got a permit. She said NO ARE YOU KIDDING no one needs a building permit for a ramp.

She needs to cruise in to the moon Alice.

Yeah honestly that doesn't look like it's to code, but hard to tell from that photo. A ramp is supposed to only rise 1" for every 1 foot of length, and lots of other requirements. They (code enforcement) WILL make you rebuild if not right, so that is one item you want a building permit for!!

After seeing the surfside condos collapse, me wonders if there are building codes in Florida.

I have been looking at cruises myself, even after getting freakin' Covid the last time. Damn they have killer deals out of Miami! Not so much out of NY, in fact prices have skyrocketed. The exact cruise I went on is 4 times as much money right now, but of course it's also prime time.

I assure you she is wrong, and as I said, they will make you rebuild it pronto if not to code.

Call your local code office anonymously and ask.

All good advice in my experience. But even with permits a home owner should keep a watchful eye. I've seen guys hide stuff from inspectors, myself included. Often the inspectors wont get on a ladder, or crawl. I've got a good story for you later about an illegal addition I did two years ago. All at the home owners request of course. I guess what I'm getting at is, the only person that can guarantee the integrity of the work is the person doing it.

I am sorry you are in this mess. I don't hire friends or relatives. He also doesn't have insurance I guess. So if you get injured because of his incompetent work you won't be compensated because he's broke. And if inspectors force a rebuild you'll be stuck with that extra expense. I would buy that metal ramp Pronto. Sorry to pile on.

I'd check it. My father made some changes to a home and we had to reverse it before selling because it was unpermitted. I'd call these guys:

  • When is a building permit required?
    Any type of construction, including a storage shed or fence, requires a permit. There are separate rules for each type of zoning designation. If there is a question regarding a permit, contact the Building Department at 352-754-4050 or Zoning Division at 352-754-4050 ext. 29105.
