How to lower a ramp

[alias_sqbr]

My dad gave me a wooden ramp he had from his house's previous owner, and it's perfect except for being about 1cm too high. It's made of wood which has been treated with some sort of outdoor protection, and the bit that needs adapting is a like...5x5x75cm wide block under the flat bit of the ramp.

Does anyone have any suggestions for any relatively cheap, easy ways to get it shortened/lowered and then the wood treated so it doesn't rot outside? Bearing in mind that Cam and I are not the sort of people who are any good at this sort of thing, and do not own much in the way of tools. Anyone local who is good at this stuff want to deal with it for me? (worth a shot :D)

If you have a local Men's Shed they often like to do basic woodwork projects for people in the community. It needs treating with a few coats of oil to prevent rotting, they might be able to do that too, and if not, that is easy to do yourself.

That didn't occur to me as an option, thank you!
