Video done as professionally as Tanner's installation! Well thought out, lighting and sound perfect, tools and materials properly prepositioned for quick efficient assembly, clear and concise explanation of procedures. Tanner's delivery is exceptional - no "um"s or "uhh"s. One of the very best videos on TH-cam.
I love the hatch cover too. I agree with the one person who wanted to know the cost of going to this much detail. Also, I have had the opportunity to install a few similar hatch cover but often you are not lucky enough to have a flat surface all around the hatch. Often there are obstructions especially in homes built with trusses.
you guys should look into attic Vaults or T-Domes.. They come with a weather stripping already installed.. and it comes with velcroe Straps... We nails in 2 hooks on the inner framing and just strap it
Do they make a model for a difficult install like my 4/12 pitch with open 2x4 trusses 16"oc? My head room at yhe peak is less than 4 1/2'. An open clear attic with a floor is really not much of a challenge.
I hate when you find a cool videos on youtube, But they never talk about cost, or where to get them. Usually, when I find out on google, It's way too much money, I wind up building it myself.
Always build tour own. 1” sheet of foil back 4x8 insulation HD or Lowe’s $23. 1 roll of foil tape. $. Miscellaneous around the garage or kitchen hand tools.
call dr enegery saver and save money.. yeah ..maybe with a 100 year payback. i got quoted over 40k to reinsulate my attic with spray foam. no thank you.. next
Scott: Some insulation contractors are like HVAC and plumbers who are really thieves. Honest ones charge a fair price and make a fair profit. I'm looking into foaming my attic & crawlspace myself with the right bulk supplies and tools; there's not enough publicity about that alternative.

Brave man, applying caulk and expanding foam on the carpet in his living room.
You'll notice they never showed the carpet *after* the job was completed. 😀
Great job Tanner, your explanations are clear, concise and easy to understand.
my baby you out done yourself this video was exceptional for my studying thank you take care

I am addicted to your vudeis and insulation now!!!!!!! iff you add you bad ass tips with sound deadening, how cool of a house would that be???
@9:28 are the HVAC ducts insulated using spray foam?
Tanner's speech is really similar to Larry. Like Father like son.
Where can I buy one of these
proprietary.. 1800.00 installed.. so is the thick silver insul board.. cant buy it separately.. they put it in..
Looks like a DIY if you cant swing the 1800. You can build one that is better than what you have now, assuming you have nothing. Maybe 200.00.
@@andydaddy2009 $250 for one installed.
Are you sure the caulk and foam are compatible?

How much and where can I buy these hatch covers?

@@tomatexelon when they don’t mention cost, you know it’s a lot
Can I buy this hatch cover in Germany?
Where can I buy one?
Great video. But wouldn't it have been a nice touch to lay a drop cloth down first? I wouldn't be using caulks near carpeting without one.
All things Atticy? Nice job!
Stupid question, but why is it so tall? What if it was one piece flush with the attic flooring?
mae2759 when you fold up the stairs, the stairs fits right into the box.
Folded stairs ( in a pull down system) will protrude 10"-12" above the attic deck surface when the pull down stairs are in closed position.
Great idea can't wait to start on mines.
Wouldn’t an insulated and weather stripped wooden cover that is attached on one side of the opening with hinges and can be latched down be easier?
Lol. Yes actually.
Level the super deck? Seriously? This is nice for a stairway hatch but way too complicated. What would this cost? My guess ~$1000?
come to vegas and open a store lots houses are leaky
Couldn’t any handyman or DIYer make a cover for less money?
Spray foam without mask is brave too.
Use Velcro
