Question:

We want to add an opening to our attic?

We have a door to our attic on the outside of our houseProblem is, we can access only that half of the atticWe want to add an attic entrance inside the house and at the other endA small person can sqeeze through to the other side to help determine layout up there.1What's the best way to go about determining the best location to place the hole?2What supplies do we need to create proper support?3Whose done this before and what was your experience?And we don't want it to be pull down stair, just a hole big enough for on person to fit through.

Answer:

you can still get it developedi had film that was over 5 years oldit comes out grainy thoughbut you should develop it to see what was on there- it could be fun!
what cisco said, i shall go further, the chemicals in the film break down that's why you avoid heat and store film in the refrigeratorso you will get some unusual results from unexposed film (colours will be weird too as well as grainyish) the exposed film has already reacted with light and the deterioration should by much less never know till you try eh go hard
If the film is that old, chances are your pictures would not turn out well unless you kept it in a refrigerator the whole time, and even then the pictures may not turn outThe basic rule of thumb is you can use good-quality film like Kodak or Fuji film up to one year after the expiration date if you kept the film in a cool, dry place (or your refrigerator) the entire time.
The best place is away from the outside walls so you'll have plenty of head room once you get up in the atticA closet or other inconspicuous place usually works bestFor basic access, a square or rectangular opening between two roof trusses is probably sufficient (assuming the trusses are 24 on center)Frame the other two sides with 2x6 or 2x8 nailed to the trusses and you have your basic openingPut some trim around the opening on the ceiling and cut paint a piece of plywood for the door (you can even use the sheetrock that you cut out as your door if you cut it carefully and don't bang it up)Extend the trim a 3/8 or so past the opening to serve as a lip for the doorDon't forget to attach some insulation to the top side of the door if you're in a cold climate.
the one in your camera have it developed if you had it stored ina cool place they may develop and the other one buy a new one
