A new ramp for the ducks

My fat little ducks can't get their butts into the pool.  I stopped and picked up some of the flat slate that is so abundant in the bluffs here in mid Missouri, but they just couldn't get up them.  So, I went to Menards.  OMG!  I could get in alot of trouble at that place.  They have Everything!  I found some 1x2 wire shelving that you use for garage shelves and I got two.  They were about 3$ each.  Then I got a 6$ utility rug like they use in resteraunts.  When I got home I cut the rug to fit each grid.  Then I used wire ties to secure the rug to the grids and the grids to each other at the short end.  It makes a perfect ramp in and out of the pool.  They are finally getting into it.  Yeah!

Louey update -- two days and no flipping.  Maybe he's getting more coordinated. LOL
