would this necessarily be a terrible way to expand the tiny attic access I have?

The current access (A) is a 16"x25" hole and is impossible to get through. In the new setup (B) I would take the middle joist here off the load bearing center wall (Blue) so I put joist hangers at the green circles to support it. This would allow for a 25"x32" access hole which is much easier to use submitted by /u/tearsinmyramen [link] [comments]
