Randy, start a new thread, I'd love to see some pics.

I did a similar thing! My wife's dog tore some part of its ACL and couldn't go up and down the steps any more so I put one of my pallet stackers by the porch and turned it into a dog elevator. It wasn't a fan at first but adding outdoor carpet relieved his worries.

The dog was about 100lbs or so and I was the only one that could carry it up the steps. The elevator made it easy on everyone.

Once the build starts up i will post a new thread.
The elevator i have in mind will have a big deck.
4x8' of bigger,i want to be dang sure i can move funiture and other bulky items up to the deck of the house.

Of course this may not ever happen,i had a deal working on selling some property and was going to use the money to build a house that we could rent as a vacation rental.
People pay huge money to rent a house for a week at the beach.
And we alreeady own the land for the project.

The deal has cooled off some,but the guy wants the land bad,jhe's just a little underfunded at the moment.

I have a set of stairs off of a big ship,they are the type that swing down from above.
Stairs will be used the most,but getting food and stuff upstairs will be the elevators job.

one day maybe...

I think I use that forklift every single day. Used it this morning already welding new wind shrouds onto a large mower deck. Used the the forks to flip it upside down, and picked it up to a comfortable working height and welded away.
