A cable and a ring...greater accessibility

Our friend, Shel,  from work came by tonight.  He had heard that Jodie had to park her power chair at the bottom of the ramp in the garage, then user the railing that Shel installed a few weeks ago to walk back up the ramp to close the door.

Shel attached a light cable to the top of the door, ran the cable across the ceiling, and put a ring at the end of the cable so it hangs just beyond the railing.  Now, Jodie can come down the ramp, pull the ring, and the door closes.  Very slick!
