I'll be 72 next month. My mom will be 99 in May. She still plays a wicked game of Mahjong.  Heart

I need the elevator because of advanced osteoarthritis, the first symptoms of which I experienced in my early 40's.

24 March is absolutely, positively, and without question the best of all possible birthdays.

I think May is awesome, particularly on and around 18th.

RE: Home Elevator
I've been using my new elevator for two days. 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

We need video of your entire home fitting into the elevator.

RE: Home Elevator
I did a batch of laundry this morning and brought the last of my groceries up to the kitchen. It's so good to be able to do these chores now without necessity of climbing or descending stairs. The elevator works smoothly, even though I'm bringing various loads with me. The technicians tested the cab with bars of iron during installation, saying that they had loaded it to its 450 lb. weight limit. Even with my own weight (I'm a bit portly) added to the items I'm carrying with me, I doubt that I'll ever have the cab loaded to its full capacity.  Thumb up

I just unloaded four jugs of cat litter and about 100 lbs of squirrel/bird food, plus ~$240 worth of sundries and food stuffs. Happy is living on one level.

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