Hiosting stuff into loft
In a couple of months shall be downsizing from a 4-bedroom house to a
small bungalow. I shall be flooring the loft which will be esential for storage. The existing loft ladder is a flimsy affair. I intend to replace it with a cascading section staircase such as a Ramsey. At first I will need to get a substantial number of floor-boards (600 x 2400 x 18mm) up there. My original plan was to lay them one at a time on the "staircase" and gradually push them up until they tip into the loft. What would make it easier woud be if I could install a pair of pulleys with ratchets, so that I could haul up each bpard without fearing to let go. I have seen what looks like something almost suitable on Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ratchet-Con...le-Reinforced- Internal/dp/B07F1TQLHX/ref=pd_rhf_se_p_img_1? _encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=AC2H9M9TKQPTQ9V8P559 "(2) Pack 1/8 inch Rope Pulley Ratchet Hangers, Convenient Adjustable Reinforced Metal Internal Gears, 6.5-ft Long & 105lbs Weight Grow Light Hangers" The problem is that at 6.5ft the cord is too short if the mounting point is some way away. Am I approaching the problem in too simpolistic a way? TIA -- Mint 20.0, kernel 5.4.0-45-generic, Cinnamon 4.6.7 running on an AMD Phenom II X4 Black edition processor with 8GB of DRAM. |
