Install an attic ladder!
I had the issue of my trusses being 22.5" wide...and the ceiling being 10'9" which needed the 12 footers...ended up just building a wooden step and installing an aluminum shorter 10 to 11 foot range one...
also, let the blown in insulation company's deal with that mess! just make sure to check their work...they're known to build up high around the scuttle hole if you look like you won't go check.

You can also remove fascia boards and have them push the hose in (ever had your shit pushed in?) and they blow while pulling out to fill flat roof areas. (oh and of course )

I want a Little Giant.. Years and years and eons ago I bought a Versaladder at the Depot for a pretty penny.. But then they went under due to some lawsuits I believe? The Little Giant is so easy to use and adjust, the Versaladder joints kept getting stuck so I had to lube them up with White Lithium Grease every once in a while..

J.
5 degrees?!?! fuck.... My parent's house was remodeled recently but attic temps reach up to 20 over OUTSIDE temp (aka 100 outside but 120 in there).. I think the roof needs better exhaust ventilation.. Same with fiance's house. Her dad built this makeshift shitty ass exhaust fan but I'm going to tear it all out and install a solar powered one from Costco soon. https://www.costco.com/Solar-Attic-F...100249967.html

that one specifically

I never experienced the 5 degree thing...it was something they claimed at an expo I had to attend.
I recall sitting in the sauna for prolonged periods of time to try and build up my heat tolerance for my job. At least 120...sometimes closer to 140 in them tight attics.

Yeah, I just had a solar rep come out to do a site survey and he said he does the same thing... That was the day I noticed attic temps were at 120... He says he goes to the gym every day and spends upwards of 30 minutes in the sauna to acclimate himself to typical attic temps... He was also saying his phone got too hot and he had to come down to his car a few times to blast the AC on it to cool it down so it could work again... Felt bad for the dude...

Are you saying you haven't been in your attic yet....you've lived there for a while now. There could be treasure or a dead body up there!

I found a silver beer stein lid under the insulation in mine. It looks pretty old. Also I found a bunk bed latter and a dead mouse.

All equally neat.

I found an old vacuum and a hard sided travel case... Like a Pelican case but before Pelican cases were a thing.

I left both of them and some car parts when I sold it. I should have kept that case.

lol I know I know... But 10ft+ ladders are expensive and I didn't have any reason until now..I found a good deal on Amazon for a new 10ft @120 doll hairs. But won't get here till August 4th :/ All the larger ladders at home depot or lowes were waaayy more though.

Weird. There was a bunk bed ladder in the attic of our first house, and it was still there when we sold it 2 years ago. I'm sure there was a dead mouse as well...

It's like we're the same person! Did you live in Dallas?

Somewhere there are one/possibly two lonely bunk beds with no ladders.

Did you guys ever stop to think that those weren't bunk bed ladders but we're just what the Attic People used to get up into their makeshift living areas?

Probably what it was.

I swear, I never cared about them...until that set I bought. I LOVED how they looked and how easy to clean.

It alllllll started at lunch this Monday. We got this one guy who blows up everyone's IG because he makes 15 singular posts a day about 1 trip he took a month ago. We were all complaining he needed to stop, but he said he gained sooooo many followers (300). So I told him, I bet I could make an IG for my dog and gain more followers than him in less than a week. So the challenge began! #TheRealKodaBear has 167 followers in 3 days.
