Re: Better to be lucky than good....
To me luck is being able to crawl back down an attic stairway ladder after observing (1) drywall screw attempting to secure it.

Re: Better to be lucky than good....
One drywall screw? What was holding up the other end.

I try to check that issue as I'm going up (instead of after I'm up) so I can drop drown and use my ladder if I don't like the way the drop down ladder is secured in place.

Don't like to get caught up there like you apparently did wondering if it'll hold me as I go back down.

Getting back down ... that's not the problem - you WILL 'get back down'.

Re: Better to be lucky than good....
Yep, looks almost as sturdy as my afternoon job on Wed. The buyer just couldn't understand why I wanted to put my ladder over the pull down.
