- 2. EC 450 ELKHORN, WI This was an interesting project. The home is about 45 miles southwest of Milwaukee. It was built in 1908 and has been in the family since then. The couple that lives here are in their 90s but are in great shape except he has trouble with stairs, especially going down. Since they live there alone, the children feared that he would fall and get seriously hurt and saw this as a means to keep that from happening. This is a 2 story home with a basement and the elevator goes up into his favorite room in the house, where he likes to spend most of his time, his office. We put down the waterproof flooring as usual to both work areas and just had to close the doors to each area to keep the dust out of the rest of the home. We covered his office furniture with poly. Since this is conventional framing, no structural engineering is required in Wisconsin. The walls were covered with batten on board so there was a lot more work to do here. Once we doubled the joist and framed the hole, we removed the wall boards and had to remove foam insulation over fiberglass batts to frame up the walls for the rails.
- 3. EC 450 OSHKOSH, WI This job was located about 80 miles north of Milwaukee. This was a Parade home and was built in the early 1990s. This couple has lived here for about 25 years and he has a degenerative muscle disease which prohibits him from using the stairs at all. It has a finished basement that is his favorite room and they did not want to sell their home they love, so the elevator was a perfect option. As youll see again, we take great care of your home by putting down the waterproof floor protection and tents at each work area. Wisconsin does not require engineering for conventional framing. This basement has a dropped ceiling. Also, a lot of wiring had to be moved by a licensed electrician. The hole framing required the additional joists to be brought down through the upstairs floor as we did not want to damage their possessions in the basement.

- 6. Jim was destined to be a contractor. He played for hours on end with Tonka toys and Nylint toys. Dozers, backhoes, dump trucks, you name it plus Matchbox toys as well. He spent hours sitting and watching homes and other buildings being built in his South Milwaukee, WI neighborhood. He even cut studs and sheathing and rafters out of stiff paper and built little houses because thats the way construction guys did it. By the late 1970s, he worked for an excavator, a general contractor and mason contractor. Then in 1984 he started a one man contracting business in Northern Wisconsin, Wizco Construction LLC. He just didnt want to work for someone. He did work for a couple contractors from 1986 to 1989 west of Chicago in DuPage County. He moved back to Wisconsin in 1989 with Luanne, whom he had married in 1983. He worked for someone briefly and then became partners with a friend and eventually his brother in 1991. In 2005 his brother left the company and Jim continued to work as a contractor. He has extensive experience in all phases of residential construction, both new construction and remodeling. He knows his talents come from the Lord. He gave him the opportunity to learn from some very good tradesman throughout his career.
