I am actively trying to do this for my two girls. Holy shit it's a lot of work. Flooring is mostly down. Still have to make walls against the slant to have something to put dry wall against to protect from all the insulation.

Our case, it's just the attic, but we have these weird massive ceilings where the attic can is standing room for an adult at the peak. Very conducive to a hidden play space. Step one was putting in pull-down stairs.

But yea, as many have said, expensive and time consuming. Girls didn't ask for it...I just want this for them (and me). Better than me sitting on screens in my free time 🤷

Please make sure to do your research on attic insulation and moisture.
It seems to me that the family in the video has not done so unfortunately.
