Safety first is #1 !!

I've been very fortunate in my almost 20 years of construction and inspection to have not fallen through an attic space - yet! I am focused on keeping that trend.

I also walk all areas that I can as safely as I can. With limited head-room the hand/knee crawl is tough. Trying to view before stepping to avoid "errant electrical" connections is always a priority, but can be difficult.

Agreed with others on the image about a fire at some time in the past. Almost looks like the scene of a "Halloween" spook house.
