Built My Own Wheelchair Ramp—Here's How

I needed a wheelchair ramp at home, but hiring someone was out of my budget. So, I decided to tackle it myself and learned a ton along the way. 🔸 First, figure out if you want a permanent or portable ramp. Permanent ones need permits and maybe a pro, but portable ramps are easier for DIY. 🔸 Measure the rise from the ground to your door. For every inch up, you’ll need 12 inches of ramp (that’s the 1:12 rule). It keeps things safe and not too steep. 🔸 Always use treated lumber. It lasts longer and stands up to the weather. Plus, use screws instead of nails—trust me, it’s sturdier. 🔸 Don’t skip safety: add handrails and an anti-slip surface. Grit tape or sanded paint works great for wood. Building a ramp is totally doable if you plan it out. Just check your local rules before you start. Accessibility matters! #Accessibility #DIYProjects #HomeImprovement #Health #Fitness

how did a plain yard turn into my sunset paradise in 3 years?

When we first moved in, our backyard was just a patch of dirt and a few stubborn weeds. I started small—one raised bed, a couple of tomato plants, and some wildflower seeds. Each season, I added something new. Mulch made a huge difference for keeping moisture in, and I learned to compost kitchen scraps for richer soil. Now, every evening, I watch the sun dip behind a wall of sunflowers and lavender. The garden feels like a living scrapbook of all my experiments and mistakes. Every year, it gets a little wilder and a lot more beautiful. If you’re thinking about starting a garden, just plant one thing. You’ll be amazed how quickly it grows into something magical. gardening #homeimprovement #naturelovers #sunsetviews #gardening #homeimprovement #naturelovers #sunsetviews

why did planting sunflowers by my porch make my summer epic?

Last spring, I decided to plant sunflowers all around my porch. I’d never tried gardening so close to the house before, but I figured, why not? Every morning, I’d peek out and see those bright yellow faces turning toward the sun. It was like my own little cheering squad waiting for me. I learned to keep the soil loose and give them plenty of water, especially during those hot days. The best part? The bees and butterflies started showing up, making my porch feel alive. My friends kept asking how I got everything to look so cheerful. Turns out, a little care and the right spot made all the difference. Now, I can’t imagine my summer without those sunflowers lighting up my doorstep. gardening #sunflowers #happylife #homeimprovement #gardening #sunflowers #happylife #homeimprovement
