well let's see, you have:

4/4=1
1 2/10 (maybe a space was added by mistake should be 12/10)= 1.2
$20=$20

and you want to build a not too steep ramp about 2 high. I say stack the 1 on top of the 1.2 so you have about 2.2, crease the $20 lengthwise and unfold it to about a 120 deg angle, prop it up on the 2.2 and you'll have a ramp.

yea you can do it. I've done it all my life. Just don't take any of their new unused wood and they usually don't mind. Then all thats left to buy is screws and bolts possibly.

In Kentucky if it's in a dumpster or a garbage can, it's free for anyone to take.

Not like i've built anything myself...but if I did (wink, wink) that's what I would do.

Unless, of course, you build the ramp inside the house they are constructing. :evil: That tends to make them a bit aggravated.
