“It might seem pretty rare to find a house with an elevator, but chances are higher you might find one in Calgary these days.”

What an absurdly divisive title. As if every single boomer is buying an elevator right now specifically to spite other generations. Why not point out the more obvious demographic that is actually doing this: wealthy people. It was nothing to do with age and everything to do with how much disposable untaxed income you have lying around.
Age is absolutely relevant. Old people have trouble with stairs. Rich 30 somethings aren’t buying elevators for the thrill.
I had an elevator in my 4 story townhouse when I was 26. It was however really slow so I just ended up putting a keg of beer in it. Mobile beer!
How did it work, counterweight, hydraulic ram, chain pulley, or what?

This is it right here and has pics of the elevator. The only thing I can compare it to is elevators I’ve been in when visiting family in Europe, specifically the Netherlands. Close the door, pull the gate closed, press button, wait 5 mins to go up one floor lol.
If someone left the gate slightly open you couldn’t call the elevator to whatever floor you were on so it really was kind of pointless to have.
Most kegs just pressurize the beer, and use that for the extraction… But some use a hand pump mechanism, or an external CO2 tank.
Ah the ol’ Lemmy switcheroo
Hold my beer, I’m goin in?
