1)We have a power outside chair that looks like the one in the picture. It will work fine as soon as he is out of hard leg casts.
2) The ramp is actually flatter than the Fed rules are for them. We have 24 inches of raise and the ramp is 30 feet long with a switch back in the middle. They built it inside the two car garage. That way everything is under roof so snow/ice will not be an issue. Carol has a lot of room for their Mini van. They will not need two vehicles for some time.
We have already found a lift she can use to put him into the van. Their van has removable seats and we found a company that makes a wheel chair lock for that model. So we have that covered.
So the poster that talked about the powered chair he was in at the VA is what I am looking for. I have already tried the local suppliers and Vet associations. They have the type like we already have. We are finding many of the things we need from people that no longer need them. Have been watching all of the ads in the Eastern half of Iowa. The DILs have been really watching that like a hawk.
As far as a fund. I talked to Steve and Carol yesterday when I went down to see Steve in person. They both WILL not even think about taking outside money. They told me that the disability insurance and the health insurance they have are the top end plans. So the bills look to be largely being paid. They also said they have emergency fund of one year's living expenses just for this type of thing. They really have their house in order!!!
I had to really talk long and hard to get him to even keep his cattle. He was wanting to just sell them now so no one had to do any chores.
Steve's family is just his "Mother". Carol's parents I do not know at all. I have met them maybe once. It seems like they have the means to help if Steve and Carol need it. So that is all of the news I currently have.
PS they are talking about Steve coming home late next week after his surgery sites heal some. It looks like he is doing pretty good compared to how it looked New Years Day.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
