  • @moocher I hadn't considered this. I think the ceiling is lath and plaster beneath ceiling joists. Do you think that would work better than going into the wall?

    @Ndeipi I like the way you think. It would invade into our recently redecorated bedroom though.

    Put a picture / cabinet / clock etc etc on the wall in the bedroom to hide the plates.

    Or some of those Live Laugh Love things. They're pretty original...

    Next time I'd probably put a bit of mdf/ply with appropriate holes in it between the hanger and the ceiling to minimise marking the ceiling.

    Finding the joists was the other issue...

    I'd expect that to shake the joists & cause everything attached to crumble

    They're not as fun as heavy bags, but how about a floor standing bag?
