Attaching Plastic Slide to Tree

Attaching Plastic Slide to Tree

I’m looking to attach the slide to the tree roughly as shown. It came off an old play set. I’d rather not build wooden frames and platforms. Could this be done with some lag bolts and auger bolts? Should I grind the top of the slide so that it marries up to the tree better? Looking for relatively cheap and easy without it being a total hack job.

Drywall repair

A 75lbs rated drywall anchor holding up curtains got prayed out of the wall. The gypsum got some small cracks in it as well. I know I'm likely looking at replacing a decent chunk of drywall, but is there anyway to keep this to a small repair job?

(How did it happen? There's a corner of a sectional sofa under the anchor. The curtains were draped over the sofa, so when someone sat down and leaned on the drapes, they pulled on the mounting bracket as seen in the picture.)

Help hanging heavy floor mirror

I have a 76 x 48 floor mirror that I want to hang on the wall, but there’s very little space on the frame/back to drill or screw into.

I attached pictures. What would be the safest way to hang something this large and heavy without damaging the mirror?
