When I mentioned that I had an elevator in my house, he was eager to have a look at it. He never saw a home elevator before. He rode it from the cellar to the attic and down again. Afterward, he was as giddy as a kid who had taken his first amusement park ride.
A home elevator is so much cooler than one of those chairs that glides up and down the stairs.
I would ask what things you need to have moved upstairs (or down) and then do it one by one. LOL
Well, the first thing I needed to move up and down stairs was myself. I have advanced arthritis and severe mobility issues. If not for my elevator, I would have had to sell my house and move into an assisted living apartment.
My elevator is a necessity for bring in my groceries and carrying my clothes to the laundry, which is located in the basement. The elevator also goes up to my library and attic.
