I see you mount on the wall and a part on the TV.Â* How do you put them
together?Â* I will have help lifting it in place.

I also know exactly where the studs are.Â* I have a photo of the framed
wall when it was being built and a stud is to the right of a box on
the wall.Â* No guessing there.


Not really any of my business, but is there a good reason to
hang your TV on the wall?Â* As far as I can see this is basically
a fashion statement.Â* I personally like to have more
flexibility.Â* I haven't moved my TV in 20 years, but if it
was hung on the wall it would be much more difficult to move
than if was set on some kind of stand.Â* And after moving a
wall mount I would have to patch the wall.

I still don't understand why people "have to" mount their TVs above a
fireplace. The heat is probably no good for the TV and you have to keep
your head looking way up. I was watching a home show the other night
where they put a TV above a really tall fireplace. It was totally
crazy. My preference is to have the TV so you look straight out from
your main watching spot.
