And do you think if a fire starts in the garage and something isn't to code that insurance will still pay to rebuild?? I think they always look for an out.

I use a Little Giant collapable step ladder for attic access and keep the existing drywall cover.
It more sturdy than the low cost attic stairs, doesn't reduce the opening size and can be positioned to ease storing larger items.
