[Cambry] I don't even know how to describe it.

[Zack] So one of the biggest obstacles someone in a wheelchair might come across is stairs.

[Cambry] Yeah, but we have two solutions for that.

We can either go up the stairs on our own, which is really hard, especially on my shoulders.

Or, have someone nice and strong carry us up the stairs.

[Zack] But, having me always around to carry her up the stairs kind of takes away some

[Cambry] And it's not practical for a house.

[Zack] So today we're going to install a lift that goes from our living room all the way

Remember, this is just one solution to the stair problem, but it's not for everyone.

But I think it'll still be a fun project.

So obviously an elevator goes between two floors.

This is the upper floor in the master bedroom and this is where the lift is going to reside...you

know, the motor and everything up here at the top.

We're going to chop a huge hole in the floor right here, and that's where the lift is going

So since we're cutting a hole in the ceiling right here, these three joists are going to

We need to support it with one huge beam over here on this side sitting on top of this wall,

And then another huge piece of wood, a 2x10, attached to this joist all the way up here

And so the two long beams on the side are going to support it when we cut these three

So now we have the two 2x10 beams stuck up here on the sides.

We have these three joists that have been cut, and this one temporary supporting wall

And now we can knock each of these beams out and cut the hole in the floor.

So right now the only thing between this office room and the upstairs is a single sheet of

plywood, and as soon as we get the underside of this hole framed out, we'll be able to

remove the temporary wall because these beams that we added on either side are going to

If we remove this temporary wall, there'd be nothing supporting those joists and bad

So now that we have the top brace we don't need a temporary wall anymore.

{Hammering sounds] At least the roof didn't fall in.

So Cambry hasn't seen the progress yet that we've made in this room.

[Zack] Okay, so the joists are cut downstairs, and now the carpet's pulled back, the padding's

cut away, and this right here is kind of a stencil of the footprint of the elevator.

So I'm going to lay this down, trace it out, and we're good to start cutting.

Okay, you ready for there to be a hole in our floor?

So not everyone gets to have a hole built right into their floor, but this is where

Cambry, if I jump down are you going to catch me?

[Zack] Cambry's going to try out the “elevator” for the first time.

[Cambry] This is a little nerve-wracking.

[Cambry] Oh man, I'm going to be covered.

[Zack] I got your feet, and you just need to let yourself down gently.
