Attic Ladders
An attic ladder is a set of folding steps that can be accessed easily, and folded up when not in use. For homes, garages and warehouses, it is preferred to use this ladder rather than a staircase since it frees up ground space when not in use. Attic ladders are used for entering an overhead area of storage, called an attic. To open an attic ladder that is folded up, a pull cord or a ring is provided for pulling it down. Once opened, the ladder should touch the ground at an angle so that it is easy to climb up.
It is better if attic ladders are fitted with 3 to 5 inches rungs that should be slip resistant.

The traditional wooden attic ladders are still very popular, although aluminum, steel and fiberglass are the more durable and sturdy. For very limited storage space, telescoping attic ladders can be purchased. Attic ladders can take loads up to 300 lbs depending on the model you buy.
Attic ladders are commonly designed to reach 9 feet high attics. They are also available in different heights per your requirement. One must measure the attic opening size properly, since the ladder top needs to be fitted there. The attic ladder top comes attached with a frame installed at the attic opening, and the ladder folds up into this frame. Most of attic ladders have a door attached to the ladder that closes once the ladder is folded up inside the frame.
Thus, you do not see a gaping hole.
Make sure that once the ladder is folded up, it is locked properly; otherwise it could open up by itself and injure someone. Most attic ladders need to be assembled before installing. The supplier, manufacturer or service person can provide instructions. Check your local building material supplier, hardware shop or order your attic ladder on the Internet..
Escaping "Paid Slavery"
February 3, 2003 I remember that day well. I even celebrate it every year. That was the day I finally decided to make my escape from the Rat Race. For Ten years I lugged Welding Equipment up and down Train Car Ladders, doing the repair work on them so the company could make a fortune in their shipping business. Corporate downsizing required me to work 12 hours a day 6 to 7 days a week to fill the void of layed off workers.
And any complaining I did was met with the same response: "You should be lucky you even have a job". But the pain in my legs and back were telling me something different. It was telling me to GET OUT, NOW!
So I did (God Forbid we should listen to our own Instincts) But every ending is a new beginning. Thus started my two years of Internet Marketing Purgatory. Buying every product promising me financial freedom.
Throwing failed project after failed project out there on the internet while I paced the floor at 4:00 A.M. wondering how I was going...

Bunk Bed Basics
Bunk beds are a great way to fit two beds into a smaller space, or to maximize the floor space of a shared room. There are now bunk beds available with storage drawers, roll out mattresses and even some that double as desks and workstations. All the additional amenities that bunk beds now offer are certainly something to be considered, but nothing is more important when purchasing a bunk bed than safety. Know what to look for and you will get a great looking bunk bed that serves its purpose. There are certain things an educated consumer should know to look out for, and it also goes without saying that not all bunk beds are created equal.
There are several manufacturers of bunk beds who make quality furniture pieces, and armed with a little knowledge, you can purchase the right bed for your children.
All bunk beds should have rails for the top bunk. Without question, the number one cause of bunk bed related injuries stems from children falling out of the top bunk....

How To Measure and Install Blinds like a Pro
How do I measure for Blinds to ensure that they fit great?
Its easy if you will follow a few general guidelines, take your time, and use a quality 1" wide Tape measure.
We build to the nearest 1/8" so the better you measure, the better your blinds will look.
Inside Window Case Mounts (Inside Mount)
1. Measure the width inside the window opening in 3 locations - at the top, middle and bottom. The top measurement is critical because the headrail must fit and you will want the Valance to fully cover the mounting brackets! Record the actual dimension of the shortest width to the nearest one eighth of an inch.
Tip... If the window doesn't taper in more than 3/8", you can simply provide the width where you intend to mount the support brackets.
2. Measure the height inside the window opening at left, right and center. Record the actual dimension of the longest height to the nearest one eighth of an inch.
