Because we are all in our 80s, it must be more difficult to buy food and exercise. Now it doesn't matter, as soon as we press the electricity (ladder) we go down, as soon as we press the electricity (ladder) we go up, of course, it is very comfortable.

【Commentary】The installation of elevators is indispensable to the consensus of residents. In order to reassure concerns, the community listened to opinions from house to house and held residents' forums. Contact the elevator manufacturer to come up with the best plan. Technically, the elevator adopts silent products and glass corridors to minimize noise and avoid affecting lighting. At present, the progress of installing elevators in the community is progressing steadily.

When calculating (cost), the staff of our working group are very attentive, and they calculate the flat cost of this elevator according to many scientific calculation methods, so that every resident can accept it well.

It turns out that when our residents buy individually, it may be that everyone's information is not particularly symmetrical, resulting in many residents choosing enterprises that are not qualified. So this time we do this collective procurement, our theme is to lead the elevator manufacturing plant, the whole from construction to engineering to after-sales such a full responsibility, then this is very secure for residents.

It is reported that this year, the installation of elevators in old communities in Hubei Province has accelerated significantly, from January to August, the province has completed the installation of 1 elevators, is currently installing 8 elevators, and plans to complete 639 by the end of the year, promoting the goal of "willing to install everything".
