Lift Shaft Clock Modified

 

Back in 2017 in an effort to somehow disguise the lift shaft we mounted a very large clock face onto it.  It worked and looked fine BUT twice a year somebody had to climb a ladder and change the time.  Similarly if the battery needed to be changed.  Now that climbing ladders incurs severe local disapproval something needed to change.  I wondered how it might be if I mounted the clock mechanism inside the thickness of the lift shaft wall and created access from inside with the lift platform halted at just the right level.

The job is now done and the clock can be serviced from within.   Here is all you can see from inside - a steel cover, held in place with magnets:

I am modestly chuffed with this.
