    need a super sturdy hook on ceiling

I got it once and turns out its really narrow, the whole screw which is 2.5 inch long wouldn't fit. I have to find a way to secure it into the drywall my ceiling is made of...

    fence along the drainage ditch?

    Hello, The border of my property runs along a drainage ditch. So if I want to put up a fence I have 2 choices: 1. put it right before the slope, loosing that slice of the land (to my awful neighbour) 2. put it right on the border which would make it really difficult to trim the trench and...
