With their Listing Agent Ross Halloran Owners decided that it made sense to have us build this 2-Pitch Lift to help sell their unique Shim-Sutcliffe designed cottage. The lift gives all prospective purchasers the ability to get to and from the water.
Once the lift went in and the owners got to ride down to the water and back they loved it, not only because they could now use the dock freely, but also because riding there and back was so much fun:
“We love our new lift and are having more time at the dock than ever before!”
And yes, because of the lift they sold their property in 2018.
The upper station used one end of the kitchen patio. We took off the end railings and used it and some of the material the owner had left over from building the railings, to make new railings and a self-closing, self-latching interlocked gate. RCNC Enterprises did the woodworking.
The upper gate is tucked away in the very corner of the kitchen patio.
The track as seen from from the patio. The track is even less visible in person, our visual systems fill in the absence of light coming off black track with the background.
We set the track so that the car uses an unused area between the dock and the shore, leaves the trees undisturbed, and set us up for adding a section to the dock that is a hub for the lift, stairs, and dock. RCNC Enterprises did the dock work..
