small world when i was 5 a drunk driver came crashing through our front porch! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif the house i live in now is very old, and does make me nervous sometimes as far as celing damage ect, but even with that loud cracking sound i heard when putting up new pole, there are no cracks in the ceiling (don’t want to jinx myself) it’s actually the reason for 8 months i never took pole down to clean too afraid of ceiling damage caused by putting up/ taking down still havent put up old pole downstairs a little worried about celing down here, especially where i dont have alot of room to play with so hope can find a stud in a spot where the pole can go https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_DJ.gif well i hope you get everything all set soon i know what you mean it is like an addiction i am dying to go play around, but have been going really hard on it last few days so am pretty banged up i never thought i’d find an exesise i can’t get enough of! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif and don’t worry i think as long as you continue to work on strength/flexibility through other forms of exersise in the meantime, you’ll be fine https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
