I'll bet there is code that says there will be attic access via a scuttle hole somewhere in the house.
Ralph,I don't know if it is code or not, but I assume it is. Code or not, there is no access. I was able to view the entire ceiling area under that attic as well as the entire wall area that abuts the attic.Rich BeckmanAnother day, another tool.
