Re: Attic access problems
Peter,

Good Question - my Code Check doesn't say anything about but I would be surprised if its not required. I don't know how the insulation installers or building inspector could access the area to check it.

Bob,

I am a fireman who gets to use an attic ladder on a regular basis and given a choice between my Xtend & Climb and a fire dept. attic ladder, I will take the Xtend & Climb. Its more versatile and stable. The FD attic collapse horizontally but are still 12 ft. long so you are back to the issue of banging walls when your carrying it around.

Attics - if they are inaccessible I take pictures and bring the issue to the attention of the client and REALTOR, and let them figure it out. I don't mind moving stuff but if theres a ton of stuff, its outside my scope to make it accessible.

//Rick
