Hi Michael ...

>> Hmmm yeah that's a pretty short step but you will be bringing a wheelchair up there, right? I guess a ramp would maybe make it just a bit easier...

Yes, my wife is in a wheelchair. Ramp could be a little easier for access (and i ain't getting any younger) plus it does not increase the expense, just wastage and i always struggle with that. I think the simplest thing to do is to design both, see which looks the finest :)
