Default How Low Can You Go?

Can't tell you about a Lantana, but a Gardenia has a low and small attic over the garage. I installed stairs (the opening is pre-cut to the right size for stairs) so I could easily get up there. The "option" from the builder for an accessible attic includes the plywood, some bracing and a light. I bought a pair of knee pads (the ones that attach to your knee) for scurrying around the space. I leave them at the top of the stairs.
Not a great place to store stuff you need to get to frequently.
