Used M&M - But we changed opening. Tinker is correct, "One point to consider, make sure you look at the slant of the roof rafters and their location as you do not want to be climbing into the protruding roofing nails." We have courtyard villa and the attic access in garage was located toward the back. To not climb in to "nails" most stairs we had seen went from back to front. This seemed counter-intuitive to me as I wanted to be able to walk from the front of the garage up the stairs. If the stairs were back-to-front, one had to walk around the stairs to go up. And, anything such as a long ladder would not fit. We had the access hole moved forward and the stairs faced the front (garage door). That way I can walk straight in and up the stairs. After the stairs were installed, we used the drywall from the access opening to seal off the old hole and finished off the ceiling. The ceiling and new access hole (with stairs) looks original.
