do you have any neighbours on top of your apartment? I think my roof(my neighbours floor) is about 15cm thick. I dont know if I will be able to do this...

[closetoimpossible]

@Alemaxus Yes there are people living above me. 15cm is more than enough, you'll probably need around 5 anyways. Good luck! :)

I just tried to drill holes to the ceiling with a normal drill machine. I was able to get about 1-2cm holes but then couldn't go through it anymore and I don't think it is those metal lines because I did 3 holse lol.

But anyways, how long did it take to drill those holes to baton? And how was your drilling machine?

[closetoimpossible]

@Kratoni It did take less than a minute for both of them. I used a Bosch drilling machine. I am sorry to hear you couldn't succeed with it!

[closetoimpossible]

@DawgFL Exactly, freedom within limits!

@nanquan491 I thought so, nothing beats the rings! Although I'd love having a rope to climb as well but oh well, too low lol. :)

[DrPetulant]

Oh, the steel in reinforced concrete is there because concrete is strong in compression but weak in tension. So that concrete can be used in tension, like as a floor, steel is used to 'pull' inside the concrete so that it is already in compression and can take a tension load. Trivia, sorry.

[DrPetulant]

'...you really don't want to install your head in the floor.'  All too true. Thanks for this sensible video and for taking the trouble to do in English. I might be doing this soon in my house.

Yep sometimes ... there are some good climbing knots or fisherman knots that I'm thinking about, I hope it will last for a long time.

[closetoimpossible]

@genericnme Good point! But you'll have to check that link every once in a while if it's not getting worn out. :)

@closetoimpossible

Alright, I will try to find one thanks =)

Otherwise, I figured out an other solution :

a small but resistant climbing rope attached to the hook from the celling and a carabiner to make the link between the rope and the strap.

By the way, I think it may be better this way, for the lifetime's hook because of a softer bond if you know what I mean (steel against steel might not be a very good idea in the long term), besides the rings movements may be also smoother ...

@genericnme Hello! Go to a rock-climbing shop they have exactly what you need! :)
