Thank you for your advice.
DON'T - Please don't store anything of any value in the attic with or without an attic fan.

Keep in mind that anything stored in boxes, anywhere in the house, is an invitation to roaches, they love cardboard whether in the garage or in the house. Store whatever needs storing in plastic containers with tight fitting lids.
