Our generation is a strange generation – children who grew up in a period of subsidy and adulthood during the years of innovation, and are about to turn into an “old” class of people who are ignorant of modern life. Everyone’s life experiences ups and downs, so an elevator is enough to make us nostalgic. It is also funny to think.
Suddenly remembering the old days …

Then the whole scene in the apartment, and the stairs are still present in the house. Stairs no longer have to share and no more leapfrog steps as before. The stairs at that time were the days of bringing the grandmother up and down the sticks, a familiar way to help the heavy wife when she was nine months and ten days pregnant when she was afraid of falling down.

The staircase is not the past but it is always there, continuing the things that are now the duty and full of memories of the emotional years. But instead of being alone like the old days, the older friend now has a friend-family hydraulic lift. Sometimes you keep strong and strong people, others strong and strong points together give your full support to the owner.
