Hi all,

I just had back surgery last Monday. Healing well and already off the Rx pa=
in meds. However, I am still going to be on minimal activity for a few week=
s 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 l=
ikely 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
