Calibrating an antique lift taught me patience like nothing else

Last month, I worked on a historic elevator with mechanical controls. Adjusting the leveling took me two FULL days because every tweak needed a wait period. I learned that rushing just makes it worse, so now I set aside extra time for old systems. Sharing this in case anyone else faces similar jobs. It's all about taking it SLOW and steady.

Seriously? Two days just for leveling? I get being careful but that sounds like overkill to me.

Tell that to @margaretrivera when her floor tiles start popping up in a year...

Right? That's way too long. I rushed a floor once and it was a mess, just like betty_wood5 said. Not worth the headache later.
