Pitch the toilet. Flower boxes for the windows with extra lumber is an idea though

NO NO TOILET Here in Indiana people did that in the 1970's.. Sorry Bill they really look so tacky.. GOD'S BLESSINGS

I think you should add something immediately to the end by the door. If someone falls off there, it is quite the drop.

Ramp looks good. My daughter is disabled and can’t do stairs so my husband and I built her one for the front door a few years ago. The wood tended to get slippery in the rain and snow so we covered it with indoor/outdoor carpeting ( stapled on ) and it makes it much better. Hope wife is feeling better! 🌺

I vote NO on the toilet planter, I vote yes on flowers planted on the side of the house. 💕😊🌺

You did a great job on it. When my Mother bought this house I am living in she had someone to build a ramp in the garage to get up into the kitchen. When she passed away 20 years we had irt took down. Now that I have had surgery on both legs I wish it was still there. Have a blessed week.

Just do a flower bed against the house, bedded with bricks or rocks.

I'll bet you find that the concrete landing there is sloped ever so slightly toward the house.😧 Looks GOOD! Oh, and I vote "NO" on the toilet flower pot.

There’s nothing like setting roots in your new surroundings. So happy for y’all! It’s so great you have the gift of carpentry! I like your idea of the steps leading out to your future garden... I do agree there should be some railing coming out the back Door, though.
As far as the commode ...paint it a bright whimsical color can place it in your future garden area.. I haven’t looked but I bet Pinterest has some great ideas for whimsy commode planters.
God bless and have a beautiful week!❤️✝️🙏🏻

Looks great! Yes on the steps. No on toilet flower pot lol.
Food for thought: Maybe add anti slip treads going up the ramp. 🙂

Nice job look great. I love your new home. Its great your taking care of dad. You are such good people. I enjoy your vlogs here from NY. Thanks for sharing your life with us. God bless all of you 💖.

I have to agree with the consensus re: the toilet planter. Nope. Sooner or later that thing has to be taken to the dump or wherever those are disposed of. Sorry, Bill! The deck and ramp look sturdy. If you are happy with it, it's good enough. I hope Elizabeth is feeling a lot better. God bless you all!

Hi Bill. I'm your neighbor here in NC. I have a wooden ramp with hand rails. Our family has had a great many falls but luckily no one was injured. Wanted to tell you if I had a do over there would be a cover over my ramp for Winter weather. That's something you might consider for yours as well since you excel at building. If it were me I would dump the old toilet and build a raised planter bed over to your other steps, that way Elizabeth can enjoy planting things of her choice. She seems to love plants. Blessings of Our Good Lord to you, Elizabeth and Pops.

My brother recently built my parents a ramp and to keep it from being slippery he painted it with some type of paint that has texture to prevent it from being slippery. Works great! What a blessing that you can do so many things and don’t have to hire someone to do it for you!
