Great video. There is one little slip up. The first temporary support is placed 3/8 inch from the inside edge of the first header where the hinge of the ladder goes - NOT the second temporary support where the ladder pulls down.

I've noticed a lot of people don't break off their shims to remove the excess wood. Do you always do that? It makes it look a heck of a lot better, that's for sure.

come do mine sir how much would a install cost?

@dwgjagg Жыл бұрын

Excited to try this method, but did not work for me. The support at 3/8” on the on the opening side worked fine. The problem was, on the non-opening side, the support would only allow the ladder to open a couple of feet before hitting the support and starting to lift the ladder assembly up. Wound up having to install from the topside in the attic. Seems to be some creative editing going on here…

@paulstoolbox 7 ай бұрын

You can never go wrong by using the recommended fasteners from a manufacture. I however, like to use screws, but that is my personal preference. I don’t think you will go wrong by using the screws, but you will definitely not be at fault by using what they recommend. I hope this helps, thanks.

@@kevlar1482 Lol what? Have you never seen an attic door before? How the hell are you going to pull it down without a string. Also I'm sure they painted the actual door later to match the trim and ceiling, which will also hide the factory ladder screws
