Crawl on a frame in attic.
So with as much time we as an industry.
I found out in an email from the building performance institute bpi however that the us occupational safety health administration osha will have new requirements for companies who send their workers into areas defined as confined spaces this.
In a 2 story home the choice is even more difficult as we try to find a location with a common wall.
The 5 golden rules of crawling around an attic.
All too often people discover that the a frame home they purchased has inadequate insulation or worse yet none at all.
Who among us doesn t love spending time in crawl spaces and attics.
Hold the insulation on the back from the front reach in the hole with a marker make the circle then cut the hole.
Part of any pest control techs sales persons job is to get into attics.
This is so that cables can run straight up inside a wall all the way from the crawl space or basement to the attic.
A lot of my friends hang out there too.
I ve certainly done my time there.
It ll cost you 100 150 for the ladder and the work to install it is about the same as if you were to frame a larger scuttle hole the framed opening for an attic ladder usually measures about.
Whether inspecting treating setting traps pest proofing or just being a nice guy and brining down some christmas stuff it s what we do.
The primary consideration here is access though the walls to the attic and crawl space.
Drive a pair of 2 1 2 inch wood screws through each joist and into each of the boards to hold them in place and create a wood frame around the attic access hole.
There are holes in the walls of my master bedroom that provide access to the attic.
