I'm sure this is preaching to the choir here but just in case anyone ever thinks some shortcuts are OK (or tells YOU to take them) here's a sad reminder. Some shortcuts just aren't ever OK.

Karl, if you are familiar with the area, Garden blocks for ramps is far better than what many up there would do under the same circumstances. I lived in that area for many years. Milk crates come to mind!

Yeah, I know , it's not all sno-cones and roller coasters . . . and any milk crates are typically "borrowed".

I have a DIY neighbor who does sketchy things like this. Tried making suggestions and he gave me a “buzz off” response. Sad.

My brother in law was crushed to death by a car in a stone driveway because the jack fell over. He always told me, never put anything under a car that you don't want back... I learned to always use Jack stands!
