“There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.” - Joe Girard

This warning sign indicating that our elevator is going through preventative maintenance has been up an awful lot lately. It makes me worried that either: 1. we have a lot of preventative maintenance work to catch up on or 2. the preventative maintenance isn't actually preventative. Considering the sign has been up three separate times in the last three weeks, including on Sundays when I'm pretty sure preventative maintenance is illegal, I'm assuming the elevator is totally unsafe for use... with or without the sign.

But it's a whole seven flights of stairs to climb every time we come home. I think our trusty 50's elevator is worth the risk. And I hear it's had a lot of preventative maintenance lately.
