Day 4.
Day 3 of the bike hanging ordeal would end with promise of having a working solution but without completion. It turns out the loctite doesn't work, and the plates were just falling down from the ceiling. In a fit of frustration, we posted a "Failed DIYer Needs Rescuing" ad on craigslist and got a prompt response. The respondent directed us to purchase two of a specific kind of drill bit ($22 ea) and a box of special concrete screws ($18). He came over, drilled the holes, showed it would work, and left.
Now, we have 12 plates (2 per bike) with 1 screw each in them and the holes drilled. Tonight, we have to sink the additional 36 screws. Then, it should finally be done.
It's amazing how frustration like this can tax a relationship and really make people cranky. I can't wait for it to be over.
