    That’s a slick bit of engineering. I’d prob try to install an opener to move the stairs, then run it with the garage door opener.

    This is at a Lakefront here at Lake Tahoe in Nevada. It's a lift off of a aircraft carrier...

    But what is that thing above the front door? It's swinging back and forth but it doesn't look like a steady swing, it looks like very intentional movement.

    I used to build a few lifts for Brad Davies the owner of American Custom lifts.

    A couple pieces of debris fly past at the beginning of the video. It might be just a door decoration blowing around.
