So how much did that Cost?

Thats a question i get asked alot in person and over the net well I sorta wanted to know myself. I've just been guesstimating for a while now and decided to bring our the receipts and see how mush the mini mega ramp has cost so far. Heres the latest photos of the ramp. Adding the 26 sheets of masonite

Cost Saving/Reusing Wood: -$600 +/-
Additional Costs: $491.02(tools, paint, brushes, ect..)
Total Costs:$2,124.55

Building List:
8ft-2x4 = 70
12ft-2x4 = 240
12ft-4x4 = 6
------------------
1/2 ply = 28
3/4 ply = 6
5/8 OSB ply = 8
1/8 Masonite = 4
1/4 Masonite = 22
----------------------
1,1/4 DryScrew = 5lbs
2" DryStcrews = 25lbs

3" DeckScrew = 30lbs
2, 1/2" 10d Nails = 10lbs

The landing are still needs to be expanded 8 more feet with a 10ft high 16ft long quarter at the end. Which according to my numbers will cost an additional $864 :/ I'm tired of spending money on this beast but it has come a long ways since 10/06/07.
Hope you all enjoyed!

Actually that's not a bad price for all that.
And yes, your landing does need to be wider. I was looking at it and it just seems like you'd have to be perfect or suffer severe consequences.
Can't wait to see videos of you guys hitting it.

thanks Matt. Yea nothing has been done to it since. Were still waiting for the money to come in. If you want to help see it finish and support it you can buy a shirt and money from that will go directly back into the project
