Did I damage my garage ceiling?
So ah, I just bought a house and wanted to add a storage lift to the ceiling of the garage. The one I bought and got about halfway through installing is below https://www.wayfair.com/storage-organization/pdp/rebrilliant-monieke-4x4-ft-ceiling-garage-storage-rack-with-height-lifting-w110239924.html?csnid=154D343C-1E47-4033-A376-34E2B73BD22D&sltid=4&_emr=f203880c-e2aa-4be8-a6af-dc9a4f6f84bb&wfcs=cs9&_eml=af349023-859b-4f22-b01e-2e1123b90d7e&refid=EML_95120&source=graymatter&treatmentGuid=5220e7d6-2a72-473b-bc8b-70335f37753f&mdlid=57ea7b80-63d0-42dc-a1e6-18a041ba9a47 So yeah I got most of the way through drilling holes in the ceiling joist and installing when I decided to Google and realized that I don't know if my ceiling joist is rated to hold items? I looked in my attic and the garage ceiling is finished and the ceiling joist are just the bottom chord of 2x4 roof trusses. So my question is 1) im guessing that I should not continue installing or using this thing? And 2) should I worry about the few holes I've drilled into the ceiling joist? First time homeowner go easy on me
