The things you do for your dog
Well, not entirely for the dog, but she was definitely the primary motivation. After we installed the new back door, and began using it as our primary entry to the house, we realized that we were going to have to do something to ensure that Tasha could get in and out of the house on her own.
The back stairs have sunk about 16 inches on the north end, leaving a 12" gap between the top of the steps and the sill of the new door. I ended up building a 6" step, which is basically just an open-bottomed box, which Tasha now manages without any problems, bad knee and all. This is one of the few projects that I managed to start and finish in a single day, and its one of even fewer that's actually complete. Hence the rather self-congratulatory post ;-)
