If the attic access is not something you will need often, you can make a 
simple platform to place on the floor such that the bottom of a slightly 
shorter pull down stair can rest upon it. I did this in our pre-remodeled 
garage. I had a ~ 3' X 3' box made of 2X12's & plywood. I marked the 
location on the garage floor with a few paint stripes.
