One of the two having sex is hanging in that thing.
Sounds like something Catherine the Great was into.
He supplied the hook and we mounted it and charged for one hour labor.We never asked what it was for.
Geez, who the heck would pay someone to screw in a hook?
It was actually a threaded eye bolt. We laid a 2X6 across the top of the ceiling joists to spread the load and then had to screw more lumber to it to get the bolt closer to the ceiling surface.
Or something like that. It's been over 30 years ago. I do remember we made it so if someone was turning in the swing (or whatever LOL) it could not un thread itself.
