I'm looking ahead to the interior phase. I have a 14ft ceiling with storage attic trusses. I haven't framed in the access point because I'm weighing my options. Is there any solution to a folding attic ladder for such a high ceiling? I can only find 10 & 12ft ones.

Hey folks. So I'm at the point of installing outside lighting. I was planning on the same crafstman style the house has, which is still available online. Our house has one on each side of the 16ft garage door. I have a 30x40 building with a 12x12 door, 10x8 door, 3' man door and a 5x4 window on...
