First, we decided for MLK weekend we would get our 46" LED TV mounted on the wall. Should be simple- screw a few things in the TV, screw a few things in the wall, hang TV. We've had the bracket and TV since late Sept., at least we're finally getting around to it. Well, that wasn't all that had to get screwed.
The bracket was made to modern building code, 16" between studs. Our 1954 Rambler wasn't, 24" b/w studs. So, I opted for the most difficult and dumbest solution, install a new stud (I already had one anyway from the basement demolition project). Here are the before, during and after shots. I still need to mud up the back wall, but we'll eventually 'get around to it'- hopefully before guests arrive.
Well now, sounds like the '54 model is doing what it normally does to homeowners. That is it confuses the heck out of them and makes them angry because the job entails more time and effort than one expected.
ReplyDeleteIt just thrills me to see you and Brent work around your respective houses. YES!
Good job by the way. Pops
