Actually, a contender for the most unsafe thing I've seen on KZread was Wabi Sab-E pulling a 1000lbs cast-iron bathtub up steep, narrow stairs with a wench just like that one attached to various bits of a over a hundred year old house.

The extension ladder you had in the reveille video was the best bet it can be bolted to the wall and collapsed when not needed and extended when u do it’s only 12 ft so it’s not that big a deal to lower stuff in a basket instead of carrying it down the ladder

Who would have thought it was solid steel under there?

You're gonna need to extend this to the top of the door opening but the top pully is already above the platform. You'll problably need to move it down and modify the pully system so it will allow the platform to go as high as the opening, or maybe no less that a short step down. I'm interested in what you come up with.

The step down will be very minimal, because the shelter is above ground, like stepping into a bathtub.

Like the elevator! So smart! My only concern is if your down in the shelter, oh say in August, and one of our Monsoons hit. A lovely micro burst takes out the electricity in your area. It could be hours or days. How do you get out? I am afraid I would panic. 😱

Wouldn't it have been easier to center the lift and install a crossbar about 16 inches above it with a pulley to center the cable?

I'd save that hand winch to use on the underside of the sliding door, just in case. At least you'd most likely be able to slide it open should someone play comedian and try to trap you down there while she goes out with her friends. Or something.

@@HerbOMatic LOL, but now I wonder why it was so overbuilt. Maybe it’s just meant to be a weight to make it easier to cast the cable and/or keep the cable from flapping around or winding up poorly when unloaded. I think I just answered my own question 🤦‍♂️

Wow, remove two bolts on the shield plate that mounts to winch. Then on shield plate drill new mount holes… tap and die threads through frame and shield was all you needed to do… using the square tube mounting straps was just goofy as your attempts at humor.

I'm struggling to understand why you're messing with the original design which would have functioned perfectly well in its day. Put a latch system in the slide door that locks into the concrete that you can lock and unlock from both the outside and the inside and replace the stairs and you're done. You obviously enjoy tinkering and building stuff so, why not.

The door operates the same as original except better. The stairs was not a fun solution and would have still been costly especially if I did them in steel. I'm building it for fun and just in-case. Thanks for commenting Rick!

The original steps were actually a bad design and dangerous if using for anything other than emergency. Also, no hand rail (and couldn't be any for the first few feet) so it would get flagged if an inspector saw it, and at 12' if you fell going down, you'd slam right into that door. And like he mentioned, there was no landing area at the bottom, and the steps went right to the front of the door. How does someone carry anything down, and open the door while reaching for the knob that's down and away from you? I wouldn't let my wife use stairs like that. This elevator will be much better. He's obviously going to have to extend it to reach the top and I'd bolt it to the wall for stability, and enclose the platform with a 4' high cage and a door for added safety, as the platform area is not very large. Oh, and when the electrical is set up, there will need to be a generator at some point, or if power goes out, people could be stuck in there with no working elevator...maybe the original hand crank can be reinstalled somehow as a backup, or add rungs to the back of the elevator to climb out with? So many possibilities.

Replace the platform with a 36" wide forklift cage. Could probably get one of those used for$100.

the elevator is a cool idea, but when the enemies start bombing your country, they also bomb the electrical infrastructure. so there may be a situation where you have a bomb shelter but you can not get inside :(
