We’re just not talking about it. These people aren’t used to people like me. They pusses who aren’t used to strong people. This is what he does to the old people. Whatever he wants and charges the whatever he wants.

Nobody’s gonna take over a job and that’s been started and screwed up.

It better be done by Thursday!

Call an inspector. He won't come back or he will be on his best behavior and do it right. In an emergency situation you need to be able to get out. Just get that aluminum ramp and be done.
 
If you were out in the country and it was a back door that couldn't bee seen from the road, you might get away without a permit, but I can tell you from experience, stairs and ramps are major concerns with code officers, because people get hurt if they aren't right.

As soon as the code guy drives by and sees it, he will be knocking on your door. Might be a day, might be a month, but he will be knocking.

I would leave them an anonymous message right now, and then they (code) can be the bad guy, and you can say "told you so".

I'm amazed this guy would even try to do this w/o a permit...That alone tells me he is incompetent.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I am only trying to save you grief and money. (and doors aren't cheap....Probably won't cost much more to do it right, without changing the door. )

You can’t see my house back here but I hear you totally.76441A52-AFB5-4327-84B3-1D0188DA4B1D.jpeg
 
Damn you all are making me hungry!! Might have to be PB&J for me though...I also need to go shopping, but at least I have fresh bread.

I love meatloaf sandwiches...Cold with catsup....Yum!!

AC is blaring...Up to 80 outdoors already. Bike ride this afternoon I am hoping.

I am working on pricing out my basement perimeter drain, and deciding if I want to tackle the project, or pay someone. I can rent an excavator and bobcat for a week, and my buddy has a dumptruck. I am also going to have to remove 2 entryway stairs, and then replace them. One is stone and one is concrete. And cut and remove some blacktop....Pretty big job.

I think I am going to hire a buddy and I also have another big project....I'd like to put a woodstove in my garage, but I need a chimney and an insulated ceiling of some type installed....So I was thinking he could work on the garage on rainy days, and probably do everything in 2 weeks.

I really need to do the basement waterproofing if nothing else!!
