Dad finding a joist

In the very short time I've had my pole, it has lived in three different rooms for various different reasons. Unfortunately you can't just stick a pole anywhere, and hope it stays up or that it doesn't come crashing through the ceiling.

Obviously it comes with instructions. I'd say it takes a good 15 minutes to put it altogether, and get it up. But before you do all of that, you've got to find a joist in the ceiling, so presure from the pole can rest against it.

Finding a joist in the ceiling at my dads house was a bit like playing a game of Where's Wally. It took 15 holes in the ceiling, to find the joist for the pole to rest against.
Dad didn't seem too bothered after I said I'd reimburse him for the cost of covering the holes back up, which now I've been reminded, is still on my list of things to do!
