have you found _any_ attic ladders? i have not looked for 15yrs, but
the ones i have installed/used are all wood and come only for 8' drop.

There are lots of US made ones. Ones with ratty 1/4" plywood doors, no
toe clearance, no insulation, & no weatherstriping. They are either
made
of wood, weigh a lot (which them requires heavy springs to argue with),
or they are made of thin aluminum. All of them are rickety.

My old stairs were very easy to drop down, and were very sturdy. Going
up in the attic didn't feel like a risky proposition to be done in
emergencies. I kept lots of stuff up in the attic that I would access
a
couple times a month. Doug White

i see your point, but why are you blaming the lawyers/osha? i cannot
get back to your op. --Loren

The European company that makes the really nice one won't sell it
to me because they don't have "liability coverage" in the US.

You really can't blame OSHA for this one, they don't care about your house.
Of course there are so many other things we can blame them for it really
doesn't matter.
