I told my wife I’m too old for attic work anymore.
Hired some guys to install 1/2” plywood strips across the length of the attic and overhead lighting.
So walking up there is much easier than it used to be.

Never done attic work and don't ever plan on doing any either.

Fell through the attic into the garage and onto my sister's best friend's boyfriend when I was 15. Very fortunate he was there as he broke my fall. I almost broke his back. Glad you're okay. Had a client this week that broke her back when she fell through the attic about 10 years ago; that and 2 head on collisions it's amazing she can walk as well as she can. Damit boy

Running cables to my Starlink dish through the attic. I’m prancing like a gazelle in between the rafters. I tripped on a cable and fell through the ceiling. My days of balancing on rafters might be over after this one. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2025/03/full-110149-263902-img_2743.jpeg) i have seen little bears that wouldnt fit through that hole

I'm the opposite. I can't tell how many pin holes are in my skull from roofing nail punctures. I finally bought a hard hat for this very reason.

First sign of nearly old status.
Start being extra careful on ladders and slippery surfaces.

I did that back in the 70's. Put one leg through the ceiling just about where my wife was watching television. She was more pissed about being covered in dirt and insulation from the attic than she was about the hole in the ceiling. Fortunately, I'm pretty good at patching drywall.
