82-T/A [At Work] or others Have you ever seen this before? (Page 2/2) MidEngineManiac SEP 09, 11:44 AM Clothes rod for storing stuff not used very often ? We do similar here (usually in a basement though) for getting winter coats out of the way in spring/summer/fall/ Only need those about 4 months of the year and they take up hella closet space. maryjane SEP 09, 01:03 PM Can't be for clothes. There's no decking on the joists in that area and you have to step over some big ducting to get to it..carefully or you would step thru the floor into the room below. The central air handler is just to the left of it. You can see a top corner of it on the extreme lower left of one of the pictures. 82-T/A [At Work] SEP 11, 10:40 AM quote Originally posted by maryjane: Can't be for clothes.

Looking at this again, I'm convinced now more than ever that it's probably for holding cable spindles to make it easier to run cabling without having to have two people do the work. Cut to length once you've run it, and wind back up the excess. I'm just surprised that they bothered to put the rod back after they threw out the spindles. In my attic in SA, I discovered that my guest bathroom had three large recessed lights. But they'd only cut holes in the ceiling for two of them. The middle one never had the hole cut, and never had the face and trim installed. Matter of fact, they left it without a light bulb in it... which would have been a fire hazard if a lizard or cockroach or something got in there and ground it out.
