The elevator motor finally arrived yesterday, and Mats’ work crew completed the task of assembling the parts to the elevator drive mechanism and arrived here at noon-ish to begin the motor installation and the rest of the electrical and electronic controller.  At this point I don’t know how long till project completion - I am hoping that it will be finished before Taly and I leave for Denver on the 15th.

Orlando is here working on making two of the three doors to the elevator shaft fit properly.  The elevator control will include a solenoid operated latch for each of the doors, and the doors must be made to not spring open when the latch releases.   He is also reinstalling the long shelf in the ground floor bodega which we removed to allow proper opening of the door to the elevator shaft.
