#ManRules AT some point in your life, learn to cut wood and glue
   stuff together. Learn how to make a door. Hinges. A latch. Made
   this attic trapdoor about 12 years ago. Strips of wood. I used
   TITEBOND II wood glue. Clamped each piece separately 'til it
   dired, moved on to the next, until it was big enough to fit the
   hole I bashed through the ceiling so we could get up in our
   attic. The latch is an old curtain rod thing. The whole thing is
   ridiculous. Yet, it keeps the attic heat from coming down into
   the air conditioned Florida house. I hated painting it though.
   It looked so beautiful as wood. Wasn't my choice; following
   orders. But I only painted the part that shows. I left the attic
   side naked though. Why? To me, the attic is our brain - our
   inner thoughts, feelings. We should feel free to think whatever
   we want to, even if we have to "paint" our outer selves - the
   part we show the world, our social side... pretend to "blend
   in". But your attic is your own. And... learning to work with
   wood is one of those things that makes you "feel like a man". I
   still hate handheld circular saws though. I use them but don't
   like them. I have one I like a lot that you just put the wood
   on, bring the saw down and cut the wood with. No saw blade
   attached to my hand - I don't wanna chop my leg off or something
   :P The tldr version: ok, I can blend in but that doesn't change
   "me" because I'm always free in my attic and I can be honest
   with myself (the unpainted
   side)"[1]10421290_757744102808_4783415647418200250_n
