I installed an attic ladder

I ordered an attic ladder, pre-covid. Yeah, over 2 years ago! It’s been sitting at my PO Box at Point Roberts, and shockingly, it was still there!

Anyhow, I went to pick it up, and finally brought it home. I highly suggest adding an attic ladder if you do want to use your attic as a storage area. It makes it so much more convenient, and in addition, the access hole is also bigger. Ultimately, you can bring bigger items and and down through your storage space.

Here are some before and after photos.

Notice me having to use a separate ladder for access 😉

Here I’ve cut open a larger hole, and framed it appropriately:

Notice that I installed some motion lighting, and new lighting sockets in my attic space as well.

I ended up painting it, and installing some baseboard around it (with some extra baseboard that I had kicking around that I saved from an old door frame).
