2. Insulation - If your attic is not yet isolated, you can insulate the space in the closet. You can also make a ventilation hole in the cabinet floor so that warm air can flow in if necessary.
3. Access to the floor - If there is no floor in the attic, you will need to install it over the beams, at least to cover the space between the access point in the attic and the cabinet.
