Anyone know where the shaft is????



The main carriage doesn't look like an elevator at all as they carried it into the house......


I mean this is actually what an elevator looks like? The amigo on the right has the floor.....good grief.


This fellow is built like a house, so after they left I went over and went to lift the cable housing unit......no dice. Even my mother-in-law doesn't weigh this much....


The elevator utility room houses the pulley puller......say that 20 times....and was bolted down with 10 inch tag bolts...into a 12 inch concrete floor.


Reading the instructions is some thing a man doesn't normally do.....the elevator that you ride in is leaning up against the wall on the right....so it's just an L shaped metal posts with 3/4 inch plywood panels........GREAT!!!!


The carriage rides on a track that is mounted to a 4x16 inch LVL and they worked to make sure it was plumb. So they had to build out a couple of spot as much as 3/8 of a inch so the track would ride smoothly......

ALL ABOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......
