Instructions
Move your stud finder over the ceiling where you intend to hang your BSB birdcage from. When the light turns on that means you have found a floor joist. Draw a small "x" over the joist on your ceiling.
Drill a 1/8-inch hole into the spot that you marked. You will see small wood shavings mixed with plaster or drywall if you drilled into the joist. If you do not see any wood shavings you will want to repeat the first step.
Screw your eye hook into the hole that you drilled so at least two inches of the threads are in the joist. The threads are 3 inches and the plaster or drywall isn't more than 1-inch thick.
Hang your birdcage on the hook. If you would like your birdcage to hang lower, you can tie your rope to the hook and then to the birdcage at the length of your choosing. If you choose to do this, pull on the rope once the knots are tied to make sure they do not pull loose.
