The 1" rule is the ADA requirement under the law, which to my knowledge only applies to commercial buildings.

Jbolty's right.. You don't have to enforce code on your self, but of course the less steep the easier.. Also need a landing when you change directions. There was a pretty good stairglide place in Concord, I know they could help you out but the name escapes me..

Thanks everyone. It has become a none issue. We moved my father to a VA Assisted Living Facility in South Paris, Me. We no longer need the ramp.

Thanks again,
Bill
