MacGyver asked:


I have myself a sturdy hook, half an inch in diameter and an inch and a half of threading. I’ve found the joist in the ceiling.

Is one joist enough to support a chair and body weight? Or should I run a board along the ceiling and draw support from two joists? (Can’t access from attic, so it would be screwing a board into both joists, then the chair hook into the board. I’d really rather not….but if I have to I will :)
Thanks!

Lydia
