In all the years we lived in this house and our last house, I never once ventured into the attics.
I was partly afraid of the dark (ridiculous, I know!) and partly terrified to climb up the shaky ladder that was not attached to anything and looked like it might keel over at any second.
A few weeks ago we had an attic light and ladder and some flooring put in my B Warm Developments and I have to say, since then, I have been in and out of the attic lots of times and not a bother on me.
My husband had a bad injury at football a few weeks ago so I was up in the attic to get the Halloween costumes and decorations down and then to put them back up and have been putting other bits & bobs up there.
It only took the lads a few hours to put the light, ladder etc in and they did a grand job.
It was not expensive and they have a discount for Mumstown members.
For anyone who wants to be able to get in and out of the attic easily, this is ideal. See http://www.bwarmdevelopments.com/
