I did some tinkering on the elevator in the family's feed store and got it running again after sitting idle for a long time. I'm pretty excited to get it going and help the store out.
I can see the vids Does that thing serve you an egg over easy at your table too? I can hear the music now.
The original building was built in the 1850s. I'm not sure how old the elevator is but not that old. Wife's Greatgrandfather bought the Mill in 1901 so her and her sibs are 5 th generation and our kids are 6th working there.
I spent a few years working in elevators. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I don't know all but am always willing to toss out an idea. One I worked in was put up in 1951 when electricity finally came out to the farm. Old timers remember it being state of the art and wondering how that thing could ever pay for itself if you were paying for electricity to do all your work for you.
