Maybe this should be in the "Free for all" But it is made of wood. Our fence between homes is 5 ft high. My wife is short and can not reach far enough to pet our neighbors Bloodhound. So she turned a flower pot over and stood on it..........till it collapsed. So she wanted a step that would be strong. I made one with 4"x4" legs screwed to the fence. If this one falls......so will the fence

You could have cut a hole in the fence

A guy is walking past a high, solid wooden fence at the insane asylum and he hears all the residents inside chanting, "Thirteen! Thirteen! Thirteen!" 

He continues walking along the long fence, but, being a curious person, he can't help but wonder why they are chanting "Thirteen!" over and over. Could it be that they are chugging beer? Are they perhaps taking turns beating one of the inmates? Maybe they are counting the number of patients that have leapt off of the roof thus far. 

His curiosity peaks and he frantically searches for a hole in the fence so that he may see what is going on. Finally, he spots one a few feet ahead. The hole is low in the fence and he has to kneel down to peer inside. 

He moves into position and peeks into the hole. As he looks in, someone inside pokes him in the eye! Then everyone inside the asylum starts chanting, "Fourteen! Fourteen! Fourteen!"

Nice elevator Ron! Great design and improvisation for your wife.

You know, I saw the title of this topic, ("Stool" to Make You Taller) and just to state an example of where my own mind has been at the last few weeks with all the seemingly dozens if not a hundred already blood tests and other bodily function tests I have undergone, I saw the word "Stool" and my first thought was, man Ron found a cooking recipe or something so that your "stool" will make you taller.

 

Hey, it's all perspective.

Ron, I admire all efforts to make it convenient to pet a dog. Good on ya.

 

@John Morris, here ya go.

 I knew we'd have some fun with this one. I've never been around a bloodhound and this one NEVER barks and is afraid of everything. Can you believe a quiet bloodhound? Sure am glad she isn't the opposite, those dogs have a big voice.

Yep, don't need one of those.

Just havin  too much fun today. Ron I was thinking that first step is kinda high on the little lady at lest I know would be for mine.

We're probably all thinking it, so I will go ahead and say it:  Good thing that guy didn't use the hole to take a leak!  @John Morris, if that violated web site standards, I apologize.
