My landlords were kind enough to leave exposed rafters when they remodeled the place we are renting to add skylights. Perfect spot for hanging a hammock!

Man, you're lucky!
I wonder how you get in there, though. It looks pretty high up.

Very nice!
ya? how did you hop up there?
I am somewhat monkey like, lots of tree climbing and rock climbing over the years. The bottom of the hammock is at about 5'5". I jump up and grab the rafters and then swing my butt into the hammock
The philodendron above me is about 22 years old, that's probably 4 years worth of growth in this place. The skylights and rafters make for perfect growing so it filled in pretty fast when we moved it in.
I love that. Is that a typical design/layout for your area? Is there a skylight above the rafters?
Home is where you hang it.
You get the fun picture of the day award.

woohoo but man you are hanging HIGH. Don't know if I'd want to fall that far
Not typical at all, it's a funky retrofit thing. I'm told the house was one of the first "prefab" type homes in the US, built for single officers returning from World War 2 at Camp Adair. A bunch of them were moved to lots along our street in Corvallis, and ours is the last one still standing. The owners have put skylights into every room in the house, including 3 of them directly above my head in this picture. Instead of putting in a post for load bearing, they simply opened up the attic crawlspace and left the rafters exposed so they wouldn't change any of the load bearing properties of the ceiling.
Makes a nice spot for the philodendron vine, and a great spot for the blackbird.
