I finished the attic at the log cabin.<\/p>\n

It started out as a play room, but worked out to be really useful storage.<\/p>\n

\"The
Stairs to the attic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I took out the pull down ladder and replaced it with stairs. They are just wide enough to make it easy to carry Rubbermaid storage tubs and totes up and down.<\/p>\n

The attic \u2013 there is a lot of space up here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I would like to use the attic at the new house for storage, too. It doesn\u2019t have to be anything fancy. But there are a lot of things I don\u2019t want to get rid of, but I don\u2019t really need to be able to get at.<\/p>\n

There is quite a bit of space in the attic. Plus there is all the space in the garage attic and the garage ceiling, above the cars.<\/p>\n

The only way into the attic is pull down stairs. I remember seeing instructions to make a pulley lift to get boxes up a ladder. I found it again. It is on Instructables.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

SpaceLift Attic Storage Lifts<\/h2>\n

This is the first one I found; SpaceLift SL 5222-S Attic Lift. It is on Amazon. Amazon also has SpaceLift SL 5228-S Attic Lift.<\/p>\n

Why risk carrying storage up and down a scary ladder or steep stairs? Install a SpaceLift\u2122 attic storage lift and see your attic in a whole new light.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

SpaceLift has two models on their website. They are about the same, but one is 6\u201d wider.<\/p>\n
