Mr Bibikow, from Voronezh, south-western Russia, was badly injured after falling from a balcony but his determined spirit still drives him on.
‘When I bought the flat I had been told an elevator would be built,’ he said. ‘But after waiting six years I decided to take matters into my own hands.
Now the married father of one can get in and out in a few minutes.
‘I used to do a lot of mountaineering before I had an accident which crippled me, so my arms are really strong and I can get from my flat to the ground and back up again before other people living on the same floor.’
Built with help from friends the project cost him just £450.
Now Dmitry is waiting for land to become free so he can build a house.
Quoting a Russian proverb he said: ‘A man should be allowed to build a house, plant a tree and raise a son.’
