Hello
A small suggestion for those planning their houses:
I had an elevator shaft designed and installed in my home. It goes from the basement up to the top floor. You never know if you’ll be able to comfortably climb the stairs as you get older. Having the shaft in place makes installing an elevator much easier. Currently, the space that consists of three small “rooms” is being converted into two storage closets and a small nook for my wife. Wooden ceilings are being installed, and that’s it. Behind the elevator shaft, I have a utility shaft where all the house’s wiring runs from the basement upwards. In an emergency, I can access every room from there. It has a suspended ceiling.
Just a suggestion.
Steven

Hi,
Oh, I had always assumed that a "pit" or recessed area in the basement floor wasn’t necessary, Hello Aragon
You can also install the machine part above ground. It’s just a different system. My foundation slab was so complicated that one extra recess didn’t make much difference.
