Crossword Genius

Stable and attics for renovation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

static

'stable' is the definition.
(I know that stable can be written as static)

'attics for renovation' is the wordplay.
'for renovation' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'attics' with letters rearranged gives 'STATIC'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for static that I've seen before include "Inactive or inert" , "Still - type of electricity" , "Not moving - electrical interference" , "problem with radio reception" , "Atmospheric disturbance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
