Time for a reality check.

Those attic "floor" beams are probably 2x4s.


Curious to know: Just how much weight can or should be placed on 2x4s
configured like that??? Recently my new neighbor, who just moved in,
was walking around in his attic and stepped off of one of the beams
and fell through the floor landing in the kitchen!

Sounds like he fell through the drywall on the ceiling, and it won't
hold your tool box in some houses.

Tell him not to worry, he's probably ranks only somewhere in the
millions of all the folks who have done that.
