[@jamienava6750]

Thanks so much for the video! I changed my dad's attic ladder quickly with your instructions. Saved him from having to pay someone!!

[@paulstoolbox]

Sorry I saw this so late, I’m really glad it helped and you are the man for helping your dad! I lost my dad several years ago and recently lost my mom too. I miss them both but I’ll always have good memories. Thanks Jamie!

[@daffydavidyt]

Interesting. I've never seen one installed before. Looking forward to seeing you on American Builder. You deserve it.

[@paulstoolbox]

Hi David, I really appreciate you buddy! I am flying out to do another shoot this Sunday with Brian Gurry. I'm eating up my vacation time at the Fire Dept. so I hope it takes off! Have a good night and THANKS! Paul

[@tonyrbonura]

Another great video!! Keep making the great videos.

[@paulstoolbox]

Hey Tony, it’s good to hear from you. Hope you and your family are doing well! Thanks buddy!

[@gulzeb]

Thank you. You actually went through all the steps.

[@magelllon]

Thank You for the video, made my install much easier than I thought.

[@paulstoolbox]

Thank you Joseph, I’m really glad I could help!

[@GreenAppelPie]

Good vid, I removed our existing economy ladder from my spec home. It was put in quite improperly with 5 galvanized nails and an I trimmed ladder.

[@paulstoolbox]

I’m with you, I don’t care for economy stairs, they never hold up. Thanks!

[@ShelleyVideo]

Where y'at podnuh! As soon as I first heard you talk I knew you had to be from New Orleans, then I saw the streetcar towel on the countertop.

[@GregDahlOregonBurls]

Thanks Paul. I need to do that for my attic.

[@paulstoolbox]

Hey Greg, great to hear from you buddy. I love watching your finds, you have a talent for seeking out the best wood! I'm leaving for Carolina to film with Brian tomorrow, catch you later buddy! Paul

[@GregDahlOregonBurls]

@@paulstoolbox That is so cool. I may be in Cali tomorrow to pick up redwood burl

[@allsourceconstructionatlan1821]

You explained this installation perfectly. Awesome content.

[@jennyzegarra7158]

You make everything so easy to do it, thanks for sharing 👍

[@paulstoolbox]

Hi Jenny, Thank you for taking the time to watch and especially for commenting! Have a great weekend! Paul

[@jennyzegarra7158]

Always, have a great weekend too!

[@JacobMergenthaler]

I have a 25x54 rough opening but my ceilings are just shy of the 7' 8" required height for the Louisville model at my Home Depot, I cannot find anything anywhere about people who have made this work for slightly shorter ceilings. Thank You!

[@samsonn25]

Aluminum ladder. Nice and light

[@douglasdurham6548]

Another great video Paul thanks.

[@paulstoolbox]

Thank you Douglass, have a great weekend!

[@run4thecamera]

Perfect, great info.

[@joedominick7517]

Nice Job Paul

[@paulstoolbox]

Good morning Joe and thanks for taking the time for me! Paul

[@spartangaragedoors]

Great video! Question: about how much should I charge for such work, labor only?

[@cspark9186]

Great video. There is one little slip up. The first temporary support is placed 3/8 inch from the inside edge of the first header where the hinge of the ladder goes - NOT the second temporary support where the ladder pulls down.

[@somuchinfo]

Hey Paul, what brand door was that?

[@redfearnb]

I've noticed a lot of people don't break off their shims to remove the excess wood. Do you always do that? It makes it look a heck of a lot better, that's for sure.

[@tmaff]

I don't need an entire new frame or attic door, I just need to replace the ladder and hinge arms.....Found hinge arms on Amazon, but I can't find the ladder for sale anywhere without the frame and door attached to it. Any suggestions?

[@Prettynickle]

I looked through all your videos. Do you have one on how to cut out the wood panel on cabinet door and install glass? Thanks very much!!

[@paulstoolbox]

Robyn L Peek , Very sorry I don’t but I have done that numerous times. I would love to do that video soon. Thanks!

[@kathythomas1070]

Smart and excellent looking military man. Great instructions!

[@N.I.C.K.]

My ladder calls for 16D nails…will I have any issues if I use what they instruct?

[@paulstoolbox]

You can never go wrong by using the recommended fasteners from a manufacture. I however, like to use screws, but that is my personal preference. I don’t think you will go wrong by using the screws, but you will definitely not be at fault by using what they recommend. I hope this helps, thanks.

[@jswnv7775]

Are these legal per fire codes? Seems to me like a great pathway for a fire to spread to the attic.

[@taviaanderson2604]

Where was the ladder purchased

[@Msleelee9487]

come do mine sir how much would a install cost?

[@josephiapichino5946]

what brand attic ladder is being used? great video

[@paulstoolbox]

Louisville, they also make great step ladders. Thanks Joseph!

[@Celtic-Iron]

Love it

[@eastboundtrucking]

Thanks for the great vid.

[@paulstoolbox]

Thank you for taking the time to watch and especially comment!

[@parm2341]

Can you plz come fix my attic stair & countertop PLEASE

[@dwgjagg]

Excited to try this method, but did not work for me. The support at 3/8” on the on the opening side worked fine. The problem was, on the non-opening side, the support would only allow the ladder to open a couple of feet before hitting the support and starting to lift the ladder assembly up. Wound up having to install from the topside in the attic. Seems to be some creative editing going on here…

[@garyinocencio4879]

Cool!

[@paulstoolbox]

Good morning Gary, it's always good to hear from you buddy! Have a nice weekend! Paul

[@C_L-BO]

Hey Paul how's things been going I haven't talked to you in awhile. I wanted to inquire on how Ziggy was doing. Also wanted to let you know I am moving on from my job at the hospital I got a new job in Colorado so we're going to be moving up their to Colorado in the next month or so hope all is well let me know how is Ziggy's doing

[@paulstoolbox]

My friend Danny is one tuff Marine and Firefighter, he is bouncing back well but still dealing with a lot of pain and discomfort. Thank you for asking I really appreciate that! I hope your new job fits you well I know you will make the best of it! Congratulations my friend! Paul

[@matthewjanssen9592]

Which sushi restaurant is that in?

[@sunandthamoon]

It looks great. But WHYYYYY are the screws showing. I don't want screws in my ceiling ! It looks unfinished. How do I hide the screws. Add another nicer board over top? MAYBE?

[@paulstoolbox]

Hi sunandthemion, you must not have seen the end of the video. We trimmed it out with door casing and painted it. Thanks!

[@kevlar1482]

@@paulstoolbox No, you must not have seen the end of the video which was about a marble top or something totally unrelated. You trimmed it with painted casing but the door itself looked like ass with visible hardware and the string hanging down in the middle of the hallway.

[@joshualand5467]

Yeah what about painting?

[@mechanicalcanvas]

@@kevlar1482 Lol what? Have you never seen an attic door before? How the hell are you going to pull it down without a string. Also I'm sure they painted the actual door later to match the trim and ceiling, which will also hide the factory ladder screws

[@shantaymadison5581]

I know you can find solutions to this problem in the Woodprix plans.

[@fgjf1079]

There's that whistle song again. Very common in KZbin world. Kinda sick of it now.

[@paulstoolbox]

Sorry about that, it wasn't popular when I paid for the rights to use it. Paul

[@mohammadmian2536]

Thank you sir you made easy for me explain it very well. Good job

[@jefflosey1561]

Knee pads 🤪

[@conradmason87]

Loft (in England, where English is spoken) ladder installation...step by step? Is this a joke?

[@isoawe1888]

This should be labeled as a repair/ replacement, not install

[@paulstoolbox]

Why is that, I removed an old one and replaced it with a new and better one?

[@alexcoyne51]

Great video, thanks Paul!
