Hubby has been itchin’ to get up into our attic and see just what was up there. I am not sure if he was hoping for stacks of hidden cash or maybe a secret bedroom yet to be discovered. Whatever the reason, he has been telling me he was going up in the attic for about a month now and every time he said it I would come up with a reason why he shouldn’t or couldn’t on those particular days.
The way up into the attic is in the basement stairwell. There aren’t any pull down stairs or even a handle to open the hatch. The piece of wood covering the entry to the attic must first be pushed up while balancing on a ladder that is also balancing (on the steps)and then moved aside as you try to keep from falling. It’s just not that safe in my mind and Hubby thinks I am out if my mind so you do the math.
Well, I finally ran out of reasons why Hubby wasn’t “allowed” to go up in the attic. He went outside and got the extension ladder (left by the previous owners) and scooted on up there.
It was sooo cold up there he could see his breath and only tall enough for him to crouch. As for the stacks of cash and secret bedroom…he didnt mention finding either. Bummer.There was a light he could turn on though, so that was cool!
I guess the expedition up into the attic was pretty successful though. Hubby established nothing was leaking, and there is good insulation and ventilation.
That sure is a nice attic!
