I have some Japanese cast iron chimes (Small, they fit in the palm of your hand and are about 0.5kg)
Japanese Chime

Can these be mounted against the vinyl siding outside my room on the second story of my house?

How would I do this? (I've done roofing work before, so I know all the usual safety warnings about ladders, heights, etc)

Best Answer

  1. Open window of your room.

  2. Remove screen.

  3. Lean out (carefully) and screw eyebolt to bottom of window frame. Something like this.

Bottom of window frame because A: easier and B: chime will not hit window in strong wind.

  1. Attach chime to eyebolt with carabiner, or chain, or something else appropriate for a site exposed to weather.

If the chime annoys you or your new roommate or you want to swap it out for better chime, or you need to clean it out, it will be easy to get to without ladder or going on roof.
