I realized the ceiling is free storage space so have started adding all kinds of mounts and hangers for stuff in my garage. The fan’s too heavy to lift by hand over-head so i build a lift station for it. Plans are in the works now for more ceiling lifts.
My wife was wholly unimpressed.
When I was a kid my mother would always say, “well where do you want me to put it? A fucking skyhook?”
Then as an adult I bought a house with 3/4th of the basement finished. The back 1/4th had no ceiling, so the floor joists from upstairs were visible. I started to drive nails into the side of them the hang my extension cords. As time went on I added more and more lightweight things to hang. One day I took a picture and emailed it to my mom, subject: skyhooks. As with OP’s wife, my mom was unimpressed.
Anyone that doesn’t appreciate it is lacking some important psychological component.
