Containing walks and detailed maps from throughout the city, Secret Stairs highlights the charms and quirks of a unique feature of the Los Angeles landscape, and chronicles the geographical, architectural, and historical aspects of the city’s staircases, as well as of the neighborhoods in which the steps are located. From strolling through the classic La Loma neighborhood in Pasadena to walking the Sunset Junction Loop in Silver Lake, to taking the Beachwood Canyon hike through “Hollywoodland” to enjoying the magnificent ocean views from the Castellammare district in Pacific Palisades, Secret Stairs takes you on a tour of the staircases all across the City of Angels. The circular walks, rated for duration and difficulty, deliver tales of historic homes and their fascinating inhabitants, bits of unusual local trivia, and stories of the neighborhoods surrounding the stairs. That’s where William Faulkner was living when he wrote the screenplay for To Have and Have Not; that house was designed by Neutra; over there is a Schindler; that’s where Woody Guthrie lived, where Anais Nin died, and where Thelma Todd was murdered . . . Despite the fact that one of these staircases starred in an Oscar-winning short film—Laurel and Hardy’s The Music Box, from 1932—these civic treasures have been virtually unknown to most of the city’s residents and visitors. Now, Secret Stairs puts these hidden stairways back on the map, while introducing urban hikers to exciting new “trails” all around the city of Los Angeles.

Start out by having a look at our video showing operation of The Stairway Valet: http: //www.testrong.com/StairwayValet/assets/video1.html The Stairway Valet is basically a dumbwaiter that carries things up-and-down the stairs for you. The Valet carriage is made of plywood and its tray folds up when not in use. It features a "clothes pole" with a hook at the top on which clothes can be hung and carried up the stairs. The Valet travels up and down the stairway wall guided and supported by an aluminum track secured to the wall. A cable connected to a winch/motor and guided by pulleys raises and lowers the carriage. Switches mounted on the park wall at both the top and bottom of the stairs operate the Valet. It is powered by a "Power Pack" which contains a 12 V battery and a charger to keep it fully charged.The Stairway Valet is primarily intended for use in a basement stairway where most of your "hauling" is done. Think about all the trips you make up and down those stairs carrying laundry baskets, ironed clothes on hangers, food and beverages for the basement refrigerator or freezer, cleaning supplies, tools and many other things. The Valet can be built in a very short time using "off the shelf" parts. Anyone would find the Stairway Valet useful but it's especially helpful for older folks who can still climb stairs okay, but who find it difficult to carry things up and down stairs. The Valet is not difficult to build and this ebook, along with the linked videos, makes it quite simple. In the following pages you will find complete step-by-step instructions, a parts list with pictures of all parts, suggestions on where to purchase them, cost estimates, and a wiring diagram. Total cost is under $400.A special web page is provided so that all URL links in the book can be easily located and clicked.
