Gary - you might get a better deal if you go to a hardware or lumber place (Home Depot or Rona), if you can get a ride.

They have scrap lumber, and if you know how high Michael has to climb, they might put one together for you cheap or even free!

Also, construction companies make wooden steps before the concrete ones are put in at houses....maybe one of those would work!

Make a phone call or two - there are good people out there and I think you will find one!

hugs! to you and dear Michael
