New Elevator
Dec 14, 2018 10:09:43 #
Our local library is having a fund-raiser for a new elevator. The old one is on its last legs, so they have to replace it. It's mostly for people who can't go up and down stairs, but it's only one flight, maybe ten feet. The cost: $160,000! Amazing!

A friend told me about a church that was going to install a new elevator. It was going to cost so much they decided to build a new building that would include an elevator.

For 10 feet how about a spiral ramp - obviously can't be a tight spiral as with stairs but might be worth invetigating & should be a lot less expensive.

At times the price of that is a lot higher than people are willing to contribute.

Why not just build a new building that is all one floor?

Fortunately, a company donated $100,000. Now the local people are making up the difference, and they're on a roll. I suppose the elevator is required because of the handicap laws.

I thought a spiral slide would be perfect. They could sit on a pad and slide down. The librarians would have to haul them up with a rope, so that would be a draw-back.

For some disabled folks it might as well be a mile.

As much as I hate to, I am going to stop going to the library. The increase in bedbugs in books and libraries having to be shut down and sprayed for these nasty creatures is on the rise and I really don't want them in my home.
Best of luck to your library to raise the money they need for the elevator.

LOL! Wish they were literate enough to stay out of libraries and books.
