anyone installed an elevator in their home ?
Don't get the wrong idea I'm not talking an extravagant mansion I'm talking about just a regular house. Here is the scenario I'm referring to. My wife and I are thinking about building our retirement house . In general terms it would be a 3 bedroom 2 bath with a basement . With a basement you usually park your cars in the garage portion of the basement. So to get items like groceries upstairs you have to walk up a set of stairs. But as you get older carrying items up the stairs will become more difficult. So that's where the idea of an elevator or a dumb waiter comes into play .
So can the average Joe design a home built elevator maybe using an electric winch for the power ? Or maybe a hand winch as you would not be lifting a lot of weight ? Or is this just a silly idea ?
