Anyone have a lift?
Comments (11)That's the whole point. A lift doesn't necessarily mean commercial activity. It's not the building department's business why someone wants a permit to install one, unless they are prohibited for residential use. Their only business is seeing it is installed safely. This is the United States. Unlike much of the rest of the world, we can do whatever isn't prohibited. Government can't "invent" authority by demanding information they have no statutory right to ask. It is the government's business if the resident comes in and asks for a business license to run an auto shop in a residential area, whether it has a lift or not. I've been down this road with building departments. I don't appreciate being interrogated as to what I intend to do in a workshop. I have had that happen in the past. It's one of the reasons I live where I do. The county knows better than to get on a high horse and demand to know what a resident is going to do inside a structure on his private property. As to my neighbor, he can do what he wants. It's his land, and it isn't zoned residential....See More? For anyone with a high-leg recliner
Comments (20)For sleeping in a recliner, l highly recommend getting a wing-back so that you can let your head rest up against the wings. My head needs something to rest against when I sleep in a chair. My Mother sold La-Z-Boys for 30 years when they were made well in Michigan. I am 76 and have three old (re-covered many times) La-Z-Boys and one new Smith recliner and all have wing-backs for my old head and a higher seat on the Smith for my old body. For lower prices I would look Penney's on line, Ikea on line, and Amazon instead of limiting myself to Wayfair. I would love to give you one of my older ones but the seats are too low....See MoreDoes anyone have an action video of a mixer lift?
Comments (2)I’ve done that and it only shows the lift being moved up and down and not when the mixer is in use. There are no videos on YouTube I have found that show a real life kitchen set up (non-ad) using it with a mixer or any other appliance turned on. Several people have said there is a lot of shake if you are using the appliance on the lift and not moving it to the counter....See MoreAnyone have stair lifts? Pros and cons?
Comments (8)Depending on the stairs, they can be costly. I have been nagging my cousin to get one. She has a 96 year old husband! She now is having issues. They live in a townhome and actually saw one that was installed, their same staircases. She said if would cost $10,000. They can afford it, but for whatever reason she claims her husband doesn't want it. He is not spry, has to practically crawl up the stairs. He uses a walker! Don't get me started. That said, I tried to talk her into it by saying the same as Yaya mentions., You can use it to send up laundry, packages etc. Roxanna, of course your other option is to explore ways to add a walk-in shower on your lower level. The least costly would be if you have a straight staircase. Once turns are involved, the price goes up....See MoreElizabeth
