It's so good to be able to bring my groceries upstairs and my laundry down to the basement without the use of the old stairway. The unit operates much more quietly than I imagined. It sounds much like my central vacuum cleaner when the cab is moving upwards. It takes about eight seconds to travel from one floor to another.  My carpenter is making a pantry adjacent to the kitchen in the space formerly occupied by the stairway.  Great

How will you, or a future resident, get things like furniture to the upper floor?

The main floor is still accessible by outside stairways. The upper floor is my library, laboratory and attic, none of which require any more than the minimum furniture already there.

RE: Home Elevator
My carpenter was here today to put the finishing touches on the new pantry, located where the cellar stairs used to be. He rode the elevator a few times between the basement and attic and really got a kick out of it. Meanwhile, my kitty scampered up and down the runway he built for her which goes from the kitchen down to the cellar.  Great

You pleased the kitty. You may remain. Clap

My last girlfriend and I played games like that, but that was many, many years ago. I do still have many fond memories, however.  Thumb up
