The Tim the Toolman number above in wrong. That number is for a Tim the Toolman in Arizona. I called him, and he says he gets at least one call every week from Florida. Go figure

Just remember that stuff you store in the attic before the steps are installed may not fit coming down after the steps are installed. We stored some storage bins in the attic which just fit the opening. Now we can't get them down because the stairs frame takes up some space inside the opening. Kind of funny for us but if you have something large that can only come down in one piece you may want to find out how big the opening will be after the stairs are installed.

Also, Chatbrat, you are correct. There is no fire rating. The sheetrock in most garages in TV is single layer 5/8". I would imagine the two story town houses would have to be fire rated because they have adjoining/common walls.
Don, could I get that $300 price after being quoted $375 from you? and is it the HD one?

Are you sure the door between the house and garage is not fireproof? Have you tried lifting it? We had to replace the weather stripping on ours. It is extremely heavy.

Beg to differ. The code calls for a 1/2 hr. fire rating on the garage ceiling. That is achieved with single 5/8 firecode sheetrock.
