How Far Would You Go,

to keep your daughter and son-in-law happy?

 apparently 6 floors if you measure the distance! sick of listening to his lazy son-in-law complaining about how hard it was to climb the stairs to his 6th floor apartment, a man in Chongqing, China, built a private elevator that only goes up to his apartment,

construction began last year, and the elevator was completed a few months ago, videos of the glass shaft and the elevator that only went from ground level to the sixth floor and back again went viral on social media and eventually caught the attention of the local planning bureau,

the apartment building was built decades ago, when regulations did not require elevators, so local authorities do allow residents to build their own, just as long as they apply for permission from the planning bureau first, unfortunately, the builder, Xong did not,

which prompted an investigation to decide whether the lift needs to be taken down, well I guess he should have asked first, but I have to say it does look remarkably well made, and hopefully will be allowed to stay in place, if for no other reason to keep his family happy.
