Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Elevators and exclusions

[Lise Beals (lisebeals]

Had to chime in here. Having a disabled hubby myself (tho not living in a
co-ho right now, am hoping to someday!), an elevator for a second floor in
the common house would be a definite plus, if not a necessity on our list.

There are many affordable elevator options out there. Many can be installed
in the size of a regular closet. Tho I must admit I am pretty new at this
whole thing, below are just two links I found by doing a Google search on
"home elevators".

http://www.inclinator.com/ - looks a mite spendy, but can get some ideas
from them

http://www.residentialelevators.com/ - might not be available in your area,
but again, can get some ideas.

Hope that helps. Also, as a common house, it indeed may be a requirement.
But definitely check with your contractor or codes/permits dept of your
town, as they should know for sure.
