People who are compelled to collect and document every single fact and model of a topic or technology, no matter how obscure or mundane, are the backbone of society and I mean that completely unironically

Are there guys with dozens of elevator shafts in their 2 storey homes?

Depends on how many rich eccentric elevator guys there are. I bet there's at least one

I would love to spend a day at that guy's house and learn more than I could have ever imagined there was to learn about elevators

Absolutely one of the most dangerous jobs, elevator mechanic/installer. I hesitate every time I step into one, having read many OSHA reports.

is it dangerous or just dangerous if you don't have one because I imagine most elevator mechanics aren't stepping onto unsafe elevators
