Plan for Attic Storage

From Debra Purvis, Design House

A steep roof will give you extra storage space

If you are going to have a steep roof, take advantage of this extra storage space. When you build make sure the ceiling joists are sized large enough to carry any extra load created from your storage items. ONE TIP - If you install "real" stairs instead of pull down stairs, getting those Christmas decorations down every year will be much easier!
