My garage is getting super full of my crap, projects, and just the regular ole stuff you keep in the garage like lawn equipment. I am at the point now where there is zero wall space to keep things against the walls. I am adding another work bench against one of the walls and I have cleared and rearranged a place for it to be. This is the only place I can possibly put this table that I have already built and it happens to sit right under the attic door. If the attic door opened in the opposite direction everything would be fine. I have been looking at it the last couple of days off and on and it looks doable I have just never messed with an attic door before. Anyone have any experience with these and how difficult it would be to take an existing mounted door and swing it 180 degrees?

Do a YouTube search on how they are installed and just repeat the process in reverse order. Installing them is not hard."Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776 -
As long as it doesn't run you into the roof when trying to move stuff up there, I don't see a problem with it.Comment

easy install. You will need some help though. There is probably 8 nails holding the thing up. Just cut them all and put in screws next to them. This may be a good time to get an aluminum ladder. They are so much nicer and not very expensive. ~$150?Comment

I saw the nails, I was going to sawzall them out and then drill out the rivets holding the various hinges and brackets up after I disco the springs. I am not wanting to turn the whole frame of it around as it has been trimmed in and I do not want to remove all that. I am just thinking of removing the actual individual components and flipping everything from one end to the other.
The table I built is for a new tool like the one you saw a while back over here

It would be MUCH easier to flip the whole unit. Carefully pull the trim, and it will re install and look the same.
Pull trim
Put 2 1x4's up, one towards each end to hold the unit. Cut the nails holding it up. Slide it up into the attic, spin unit and put it back down onto 1x4's

Pull 1x4's
