in the 90's and humid .But got hubby's tv mounted .Who said you need help .Hubby's boxes of baseball cards were a big help in mounting it .I love this tv mount off ebay as it came with a level .Just have to take the feet off and put the board over to hide the screws on the mount .I used oak and wanted it mounted to 2 studs not 1 .I have to stain the oak and put the other pieces up but 1 hour it took .

you left the legs on?

but that size tv prolly weighs under 40lbs. so 1 stud with that bracket would have been fine.

It could have been 1 stud but better safe than sorry .I left the legs on to help balance it on the boxes of baseball cards .I had to hold the tv with one hand while I got the bolt in the hole for the 2 parts of the bracket .Remember I am 64 years old and only 5 foot 2 inch's tall so hard when tv is slightly higher than you .I took the legs off after the pic was taken and then reset the power cords into the new outlet .I will finish hiding the bolts today but have to go to the post office first with 30 boxes and go to get fertilizer for the lawn since w are going to get some rain .

no worries I totally get safe/sorry. when i do tv installs i almost never use what comes with the mounting kit for the wall part. when i know i'm hitting a wood stud i use lag screws. if i'm in drywall , tile or metal studs i use wingits

I got this kit off ebay 13 dollars with free shipping and it came with lag screws and a level .None of the other kits I bought off ebay came with all this extra stuff .Extra screws and washers for every screw .It was the easiest kit I ever installed .I ordered 1 from same person for the 60 inch tv .Studs on interior walls are 16 inch's on center and 2x6 studs on outside walls are 24 inch's on center with a thermal break on each side of them

It’s going to be another hot day. Wind isn’t as strong today, yet, so I think I’ll go out and work on the pond and around it before it gets too hot.

I agree installing/ mounting tv's is easy work. next time your in nj on gsp or njtp i did the menu board installs at the rest stops for BK. did some in the surrounding bases too.

Warm, sunny day here again, up to 82. Plants may need some water soon if this keeps up.

Meh, I lack a lot of motivation. Got in the pond, rearranged plants, scooped some floatsum off the top, saw my fish being friendly, swimming around me, and almost got chased away from my filter/ planter when I added new plants by a big spider. Yep, that’ll stay there, and that’s fine, but nope, not letting one that big on me. My mystery lilly has new leaves coming up, the bottom of the leaves are almost magenta red if anyone can help me guess what it is. And snapped a pic of my big shubbie, in its qt tank. Oh any my plant tank has a baby fish in it. No clue how, maybe in a bucket of water.

My son is a tow driver for them angel .He drives the big green machine .His town truck flatbed is lime green .He is out there on both all the time .I got my front yard mowed again and grocery shopping done and went to lowes for fertilizer and lime and epsom salts .
