Being somewhat nervous about my plans to mount a Sony 1270 from the ceiling of my apartment, I'd like to solicit some opinions here. I currently live in an apartment with vaulted ceilings that extend up to the roof joists. The Living room joists have about a 20' span at a 12 Degree upward pitch, and are 2x6's 18" on center. I plan on using some 2x4's to span two of the joists, bolted into the joists using some 3/8" x 6 lag bolts, and then bolt a Sony mount onto the frame created with the 2x4's. However, this just seems precarious, with such a long span of 2x6's holding a 150 lb projector right above my couch. Is this setup safe, or should I try an alternate arangement?
Thanks for any opinions
