[Shop-talk] Hanging stuff from plaster and lath

[Tim .]

Hi all,

I just had back surgery last Monday. Healing well and already off the Rx pain meds. However, I am still going to be on minimal activity for a few weeks more.

Sooooooooooooo, please have patience while I ask to many questions. This is the first:

I am wondering the best way to hang lights from a plaster and lath ceiling (that is over 120 years old if this last bit matters). The two plant lights in question weight just under five pounds each. I will also be mounting a bracket that is used to adjust the height of the hanging light--this most likely on the wall but am not sure yet. I know exactly where the lights will hang so most likely won't be able to (find) use a stud.

Thanks!
tim
