FW: Re: [QUAD-L] Elevators

[William Willis]

I have a platform lift to my basement. It looks like a van lift only bigger 
and heavier. It moves on a track that runs parallel with the handrail. It 
cost $8,000 eight years ago.

I have seen an IBOT. I have read about them. I have not met an insurance
company that will buy one. Medicare and medicaid insist that I will walk 
before
they pay for one. I find that as I get older I become lower on the list of 
folks
thats going to get the new cool handy devices that make life more than
minimally barable. I'm jealous of y'all with per-mobiles and vans that you 
can
drive. lol Sometimes I feel like I'm starving and sitting watching everyone 
else
eat steak. The IBOT is like looking at porn. It just frustrates me. lol

My  friend's dad a 6 foot lift for him powered by a 25$ electric chain fall
from ACE Hdw.   Worked pretty well.  Another way might be to try the IBOT.

Has anyone ever put an elevator in their home? I was wondering the costs, 
if
it’s $5k or closer to $20k
Or how about a lift for the stairs? Do they have lifts for stairs that make
u-turns? Can you use a big electric chair on one?
