Caught up on the dream garage build series, which I’ve really enjoyed, so started watching your videos from the start of the channel. This one is great! We have two attic ladders like this, and now I’m looking forward to fixing them rather than dreading it! Thanks!

wow! really neat to see the improvement of the video of the channel over the years. Really appreciate this one as I'm moving to a home with a sloppy ladder. In the SW I have a flat roof with no attic space and moving back east to a 1903 farm house. You just saved me from replacing the whole darn ladder

Thanks. My ladder is very similar to that one. Whenever I see one of those stove bolts loose or missing, I replace it with a new one with lock washer. Actually a couple were missing when I bought the house. I feel a lot better going up and down it, without any loose screws!

Thanks for the T Nut suggestion! I'll replace all the old screws in mine when I take it down to replace a cracked board in it's casing.

This is great. I wish y'all would put the details in the description, like the size of the drill bit, nut, etc. :)

It will not be the same for all attic stairs. You need to determine what diameter bolt/screw will be required to fix the problem on your specific stairs. Or hire a professional.

@@vids595 If you're recommending hiring a professional then why even make this video.

Good vid. What about if a certain step itself is causing the creaking? Is there any way to solve that with basic tools?

but isn't the lower section of this ladder still bending? It doesn't look like it's in a straight line with the rest of the ladder?

Any tips on how to add some to a short ladder? 😂 I bought one off Facebook market place and for some reason it's about 1 ft short....

My stairs are wobbly, but the nuts and bolts are tight. Will replacing them with these type of nuts still make a difference? Thanks for the video!

@vids595 2 жыл бұрын

Even if your hardware is tight, the holes in the wood, through which the hardware passes, may have become widened or "wallowed out". So the answer is yes, possibly.

Thanks!!! Do you have a video on fixing a sagging attic door, ? Thanks in advance

@mikesweeney5685 4 ай бұрын

I have this same attic ladder and my door was sagging open about 2 inches on the end from closing completely. There are two J bolts holding the two springs in place. I was able to tighten the nuts on both about another 3/8" of an inch which tightened the two old 27 year old springs enough so that now the door closes completely. If that doesn't work, you might need new springs. I also oiled the hinges and the old ladder door opens and closes like a breeze!
