Our new elevator is finally finished, after weeks of
agonizing stair climbing. As you can see, the outer door doesn't look so nice, but it will be painted so it will hopefully look better.
This is what you see when you close the inside doors that must be closed in order for the
coffin elevator to move. The elevator is quite small, and you can't see anything from inside, so all you have to ponder is your plunging death. It is definitely NOT a good place for people who are claustrophobic, and even if you aren't, you might develop the phobia after a few rides in this puppy.
The panel is nice and flashy, and the elevator is automatic, which makes for fun times when you get in and don't hit the ground floor button fast enough so someone on another floor calls the elevator before you are done with it. Since there is only room enough for two people in the thing, it doesn't really work for it to stop at multiple floors on the way down.
The inside view, pretty standard for new, Greek elevators.
I wish I had the camera in time to take pictures of the ancient, scary elevator, but alas, those images are left to my memories. I'm a bit sad that I can't whine about the prehistoric moving box o' death anymore, but the new one is fast, sleek, and keeps me from climbing six flights of stairs. You can't beat that!

So will the new elevator be stopping at floor number one or were the doors concreted over?
PS: Thanks for the name day wishes Mel!
Congrats! Now you put those nasty stair climbing days behind you!

Ellas - the new elevator does indeed stop at the first floor, although it is hardly worth their trouble to use it with the inner doors that have to be closed. They can probably use the steps faster.
Yes Cyn, finally!
