I don't even think attic stairs are safe really. I WISH that there was a home model that had real stairs with a stair rail to the attic and the attics were configured for finishing for an extra room.
Great point, gg.
I notice several premiers and designers that have rooftops 30-35' in the air, covering huge attic spaces. Some have dormers/gables with real windows.
Has anyone ever thought of carving out even a small room, nook, or otherwise?

While we wouldn't consider a two-ton king size waterbed, it might be interesting to have a tiny get-away with an outside view.
