Well if it can hold your house up....

nifty:
the best ever set of ramps ive ever used were a solid wooden block with a slope cut chainsawed out of it.nothing like this....picture a steel ramp made out of solid wood.....measured about 3ft long a foot wide and 1ft high....sooooo easy to drive up onto.....the steel ramps i have are not bad,but i have a bit of a hard time getting the front onto them....tends to push away from the wheels.....i ended up putting the steel ones into a groove in concrete.....the wood ones were great.....just inched up to them and drive straight up....they never moved....weighed about 20kg each though....bout the only trouble i had was if they were wet and trying to get the back wheels on..gets a bit of spin up.when i was a lad we used to drag them out into the park and use them for a ramp on the trusty bmx bike.(even broke my collerbone on a jump gone wrong.)......alas the white ants got them after 25 yrs of use.....

Your house has slightly more interconnecting pieces of wood to stop it from falling on you.  After a few years of moisture I wouldn't trust my life under those ramps!

Oh, and I have a steel framed house.  ;-)
