"you must install in your ceiling is hardly a compelling solution." - why? we have "expensive" machinery to open our garage doors. Why specifically do you think it is not a compelling solution?

I personally think this is a great idea as ceilings are useless for the most part and that space can be used for something else - like storing the entire bed.

> ceilings are useless for the most part

I would say they are underutilized. Ceilings are certainly useful for preventing rain from falling on our heads ;)

Those are roofs. Ceilings are basically just for looks.

And for maintaining a proper vapor barrier and insulation - two things rather critical to asset value and livability respectively, in most climates.

You can also put insulation on top of them to make your room more temperature efficient. Also prevents the need of dusting your roof joists, since they are effectively sealed.

Ha touche. Although I would say my ceiling is just the inside part of my roof :P

I guess it depends on how your house is made.

Thanks for the brilliant correction :-)
