Each time I store the holiday decorations, extra TV, unused golf clubs, etc., I think about a power lift also. It's not especially the weight involved, but it is very awkward shoving large boxes (Christmas Tree is major pain) up the narrow, pull-down, steps that are currently used. If those trusses won't handle a few hundred extra pounds, the place is unsafe anyway, and why would they sheet some space and provide a light up there? Someday perhaps our builders will start considering more storage space. I'd like larger garage attics specifically designed for storage and more houses built with three car garages. Somewhat difficult adjusting to life here without my normal assortment of "toys" and a nice basement. It's like exchanging all the cars,cycles, boats, work-shop for our fantastic weather. The "majority vote" in this family favors the weather so another family meeting with her won't solve the storage problem. If I keep posting like this, I may need the "man-cave" very soon. Self-storage rental places anyone? ---Then you need a truck.
