Actually, I hadn't thought of looking on the net. Too obvious, I guess. And the use is for an octagonal, three story house I'm designing. I'll definately look up the net, although the last time I looked into elevators, a long time ago, the cheapest setup was about 250 thou. Also, I'm into designing mechanical things myself. As far as code requirments, I understand them and build accordingly, however I am also not afraid to think outside the box. Thanks for the tips, so far.
