More Work on the Pathway

Looking through the window blinds. This photo is from the screen door. The steps going down the side. Elevator-Lift will be in the center.  I'll have to take more photos when the job is finished.  

Building a Pathway

  Lynette and I are paying concrete workers to make a pathway for our rollators. Lynette has trouble walking because of a back operation that went poorly. I have a neuropathy which leaves me tired and my legs weak. It's gradually getting worse so I might need a wheelchair someday. The three concrete steps that we now have are dangerous for us to use. These photos show where the soil was dug away and the I-Rods lined up. This will allow the concrete to be poured into the depression. They set this up yesterday, Saturday. Monday the workers will pour the concrete. There is enough room for a small patio. This will be a small stairway off to the side for those who don't need help getting up stairs.. There will be a chair lift where the landing is now. The landing will be built up to make it easier for a rollator or wheelchair to get in and maneuver. I think it will look better than a wooden plank. It will be flat, not at a slope.
