[REDCART]

Was this new construction or a resale because TV doesn't normally include pull-down stairs to the attic? The frame for the stairs is screwed to the side of the 2x4's in the attic that are part of the ceiling and roofing truss rafters. So it would appear to be the fault of the after-market pull-down stairs installer rather than a home warranty issue. I was surprised that they didn't use shims when they installed our pull down stairs in the garage because you run the risk of pulling the frame out of square. In stead there's a slight gap between the frame and the rafters but the frame appears to be well secured. So they definitely do cut corners in FL.
