I have a space to crawl up through the ceiling in my bedroom closet to get to the attic space,it is about 3ft sq. I have to use a ladder to get up into this space. How can I convert part of the area above the ceiling in my closet into a storage area for keeping my extra things so I can get them out of a spare bedroom I want to make into a guest room? Any suggestions as to how to get the boards up into the space to lay them down to put the storage totes on to keep them from falling between the roof joists? I am wanting to use like plywood to make the "floor" for the totes,etc to sit on. Thanks for any help in this issue. I will be doing this by myself without anyone standing down and handing these totes to me,so please make the advice easy and safe for one person.
