    you can get them and yes if youve room for one and you can get a chair in out etc then they can be a great option. a couple of folk near me had them installed, although i didnt fancy it personally.. way too small.. ive a stairlift which is great

    yeah stair lifts are battery, but the charger is on mains and always on.. in event of a power cut, you will have a few up n downs before it goes off. think wjhen my charger went once i had abot 6 uses before battery lost power.. there is a hand wind mech too on most incase of failure

    What is it with Bungalows?

    Awful things, IMO. Cost twice as much as a properly constructed 2 storey house.

    The air which we breathe can't flow up.

    My brother died very quickly after being moved into a Bungalow.

    Much as I hate height's, you gotta find a balance.

    I want one of those Paris apartments with a first-floor balcony. Gaze upon Notre Dame and Sacre Couer, and you are golden.
