My loft hatch is closed with a wing nut. The nut is just 1/2" above my reeach. I have a 4 inch thick dictionary which I use to stand on just whilst I undo the wing nut and lower the hatch (a coat hanger is then used to lower the ladder)
But as you can see for this purpose the book will work best when its closed :o)
- there is always one isn't there, and yeah ok, it is usually me.
As for your comment about "misuse" think you will find that which I do is obtaining the best value for money from an item which has been purchased. Granted it is not its intended purpose, but it works, and it works well, when its alternative purpose is achieved, it goes back to the book shelf to perform its primary purpose.
That is quite an abstract concept to a governments at times we call it "value for money" or "not reinventing the wheel"
It is one of the things I notice with text/e-mails/blog comments: you can't give them any sort of context.
