    The problem of the storage room on the third floor is easily solved. There could be a crane there! Lots of the old merchant houses in Amsterdam had storage on one of the top floors and they used wooden cranes (that were part of the house) to get the stuff from the canals to the storage rooms.

    (edit: I don't think they were actually cranes, but I can't seem to find the correct Dutch word for it, let alone the English word - it was more a hoisting system).

    (edit 2: see the top window in this picture: http://www.travelpod.com/users/chron...house_2003.jpg )

    (edit 3: ok, it was called a "Hijsbalk" or hoistbeam)
