Never been in my attic before

Muban · 14 Jul 2013 at 09:17

I've never been in my loft. The ceiling is 11ft up and I've not got a ladder (I could get a ladder but then it would take up more space than everything I would want to store up there, sort of defeating the purpose

).

Not scared of going up in the loft though. If my folks ever need anything taken down/put up in their loft it's me that does it. Just as well I don't mind spiders and dead butterflies, there are loads if them in the back loft.

Am I the only one who checks out their loft space before moving in to a house?

Six years ago when I bought my current house the first call of business was to padlock the entrance of the attic. I can live without the dust and billion cluster flies.

For a lot of the old terraced houses it was an easy way in for burglars as all of the attics were connected.

When I went in the attic of our old house there WERE literally millions of cluster flies. It was ******* disgusting.

Had to smoke bomb it twice to kill them all. Then hoovered them all up and binned the Hoover.

Was absolutely horrible.

Far as I know no one has been up there for at least 30 years.

Apart from plumbers fixing leaks.

So in other words, some people have been up there in the last 30 years. Great.

Those weren't plumbers, they were Reptilian egg bearers, they have laid eggs in his attic and they are manipulating him by mind control so he only goes up into the attic at the exact time the eggs hatch so they can feed the young, if he goes up there before they hatch the game's up, they have to time it just right.
