if your mom is 87 years old I would not be playing around with what she had
to trust her life with. I would take it back and get something different or
buy something different, or start from scratch and build her a step stool
that would be safe if you have that capability. Just my thoughts.

Gill,
There is another trick you can try sometime when you don't want to wait as
long. It's called shocking. If you have a torch you can heat the outer end of
the tines and I mean really heat them up. Then take very cold water and douse
the hot metal. Sounds crazy I know but it works. I ha

If you still have that information, could you send it to me at:
I wonder if a hose clamp, or adjustable clamp wouldn't make a very good

Tighten it up on that pipe. and take a tiny drill bit to that pipe.
Those clamps have notches and even if you ust one out, you're already in a
trough and you can line up with the far side when you are through, the
a U bolt, held to a cross piece by an adjustable washer/clamp?

how about put the whole thing on a platform, if it is likely to stay in
place.
Then you can make a first step under the current first step, and it could
be raised the 3 inches necessary.

Matt, I'd have to say that it really depends upon what's wrong with

impossible provided your handy with a soldering iron. There is a lot

there are extremely slow chargers that can do this, you get maybe another

less.
