Installing a TV Wall Mount on a Stone Fireplace - LHP

[@ScottysDetailing]

I’ve watched about 50 of these videos on how to mount a 75” TV to a fireplace. And your video is the best!! Don’t change a thing perfect! Video! In-depth very informational and spot on! 🏌️‍♂️loved! It!!

[@LittleHomeProjects]

Wow, thanks!

[@rickyrickharris4908]

Hey could you tell me were you rented the drill and drill bits

[@zacharyphillips6995]

Good job

[@scottmiroddi2261]

Awesome video! Great job! Where did you rent tools at Home Depot? Thanx!

[@uniquesoundsolutions]

This is an excellent video. I install TVs for living. I have a similar project ahead of me installing a full motion bracket on a similar stone wall. I wanted to gain some insight on installation methods. The use of the plywood and washers was a good solution. I typically use the black spacers that come with the mount for uneven surfaces. They come in many sizes and over time I’ve collected all types. I’ve done it before and it works very well. Each time I’ve done that it was a standard mount that does not move. A big thumbs up with your determination and ingenuity.

I have the same exact face of a fireplace and had no idea how to mount my TV. Thank you for talking through the steps it was very informative. I don’t think the length was an issue because the narration was straight to the point. I would rather watch a longer one that shows all the steps then a brief explanation and no demonstration. Thanks again

[@markfolty6604]

Very good! The fact that you didn’t offset the mounting bracket enough to be able to center the tv is a good lesson for everyone attempting to try this. Regardless, it looks great and functions as you needed.

[@LeonF63]

I appreciated the extra time on this video. Having little experience with DIY projects I never considered the addition of board to flatten the surface or the different stacking of the washers to adjust to different depths. Likewise the use of the rubber washer to give a little bit of flex and ensure snugness. Very well done.

[@williamm2416]

Wow! That is a lot of work. Job well done. Great video. I will be doing a similar job. Thanks for posting your work.

[@devynderrick6446]

excellent video, very helpful as I'm getting ready to install into a solid stone fireplace.

[@ryankincaid88]

You are my hero. I’m just starting my wall Mount adventure. My issue is almost the exact same, but no studs behind my fireplace. All brick and mortor

[@jamillahvallare]

Outstanding work! Very advanced for me but I can be sure to show the person who plans to do the work. Thanks for sharing!

[@jambiient]

That was an intense one!! Holy moly. I admire your knowledge and dedication!

[@AyalaJD2730]

Thank you for the video and the great ideas. Almost had a terrible accident last night. My brand new 65" tv almost fell on its face because of improper installation. Love the back plate idea. Will do a second attempt at hanging it on the wall with these new ideas in mind

[@JohnWilliamsextremelog]

I rarely comment...but this was exceptionally thorough! Thx!

[@GirlyDiaries122]

Nice work! Good video - very detailed and exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate the layman's version of this install:)

[@edyoung6264]

Best video on You Tube for mounting a TV to stone.

[@TheLuisBoston]

Excellent video and explanation..! I thought it would be easier, but thanks to your video I made a plan for installation in a couple of days and get it perfect. thanks again

[@Warkive]

Your thought process and description are all fantastic. You have an engineering mind for sure, which it makes it all the more surprising that you didn't A) Check the orientation to center up the TV on the wall (my OCD would have forced me to redo this entirely), and B) Verified the bracket properly attached to your TV beforehand (maybe you did but just didn't mention it). Sorry if these appear nitpicky, because I really did enjoy the explanation and documentation of the process.

[@leonardwilliams1955]

You did an awesome job! Had me up and down with emotion. the end was well worth it! Nice Job.

[@issaminkah]

Great attention to detail. Thanks for sharing! Helped alot.

[@nikcrocker6380]

Not at all too long. Quite engrossing. No need for smaller sections that was fine.👍👍

[@KindredGh0st]

Damn. You have a huge set of nuts to try this. I know my limits... i think i’m goign to hire someone to do this. Good for you man!

[@devonbernier7321]

Awesome. Much appreciation for the time, effort, time :) and details.

[@andrewmargo4564]

Great video man, step by step troubleshooting will help me for sure!

[@LdoggYang]

Nice work brother!! Amazing diligence!

[@bigad23]

Exceptional video sir 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@jaredlangdon7286]

Hey, thanks for doing this video! I've got a similar situation going on and am researching how to best go about it. This gives me some good ideas to work with!

[@cdeshazo99]

Thanks boss! I was thinking about hiring out my project but you gave clear enough tips that I feel good about doing it myself. Cheers.

[@teresabell3581]

I really liked you video. Very well done! Thanks for the things you learned after you mounted it like off-setting it! Thanks for sharing your experience! Show a step two video on how you connected the wires and hid them.

[@LittleHomeProjects]

Hi, I've had a few people ask about how I hide the wires. So far I have not cleaned them up so they are still all over the place. I will make a video soon once I decide how to solve the issue. Thanks for the suggestion :)

[@dragunov525]

Definitely an old video, but no, keep them long for things like this. Little things you came up with for solutions help for other people doing things like this.

[@speedbump1984]

Love the attitude dude, u never give up

[@landyfox8976]

Good video for those who are unsure how to hang a television on an uneven surface. Well done, but a word of caution for views who have a working fire and intend doing this. Be very mindful about of the depth being drilled. Particularly here in the UK as you may damage your chimney liner which could result in carbon monoxide leaking into the room.

[@patrickgarrett1443]

Great video. Great commentary.

[@Luigi-yu5wv]

Great job! Thank you so much for sharing! God bless you!!!

[@timdaly8057]

Love the wall !

[@jmill7450]

Nice job !!

[@jasondmaguire]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@eddiez2563]

Some great ideas. Would have like to seen some wire work but i know this was a focus on the mount.

[@LittleHomeProjects]

Hi Eddie, thanks for the comment. I did a second video that includes what I did for my wires. its not as elaborate as I think people wanted, mostly I just bundled them up and put them on the ledge. For what that information is worth it is in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6PZpXhtqcR-q6c Thanks again for the comment :)

[@nikcrocker6380]

Good honest method description.

[@dclmac]

Thank you for this video! Very informative and learned a lot!

[@Persevere4Life]

Great job! What about the wires? Do you have another video showing what you did with the wires?

[@dappawap]

I have stone, too risky. Is there a way ti mount this on the mantle itself?

[@jtcintl4373]

How do you know the smoke won't come back through the holes?

[@adrianogritti3657]

Hello there. Thanks for the video. But I am curious how you mount the wires. Did you open a hole in the brick wall to pass the wiring?

[@LittleHomeProjects]

Hi, thanks for the question. In this installation I did not pass the wires through the brick. I tucked them in snugly between the mantle and the brick so the wires ran horizontally and parallel to the mantle. The TV covers most of the mantle and the rest is just hard to see when they are tucked into the corner crack... it is a great question though. I think it would be quite a challenge to fish the wires through the brick. It might also be a safety concern. The TV can be moved away from the fireplace when we want the fire, but once wires were fished through there could be safety concerns unless you knew exactly where the wires were placed. My thinking would be to remove the gas fireplace and see if there could be a safe way to run it, but that might be an entirely new set of issues and challenges.

[@bolorcrystal9845]

Beautiful

[@EdwinRodriguezRicandragon]

Very informative, didn't find the video to be too long? Great video!

[@TheKobelakers24]

all you need masonry screws lol u dont need to do all this. he is doing the most

[@heroknaderi]

Good job 👍 I appreciate it 😎👍 also curious what’s wrong with installing it anyway while it was rocking 🤩 and lucky you hit studs😎😎

[@mitpatel07]

Good job but off centre is n issue I wud do it again to centre it coz this bothers

[@Ahoooie]

I have same limestone brick but full brick on all for sides of fireplace.I so hate drilling into it.

[@Bossradio]

Great video! What did you do for power and HDMI video?

[@LittleHomeProjects]

I mostly just ran the cables behind the TV and along the mantle. I did a second video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6PZpXhtqcR-q6c

[@johnskender4386]

you never know whats going to happen until you drill

[@mattdewitt3519]

Curious as to why you didn't center the mount above the mantel? The mounting job was great, but seems wasted due to the final placement looking very choppy.

[@mattmassey5762]

I don't like how you made it look easy. Do it again!

[@xXC0URAGE0US]

Just a quick question, were you originally going to use metal concrete anchors before you discovered the studs? Or was your original intent to drill past the stone into the drywall to use drywall studs? I only ask because I'm concerned if I go past the stone that I'll drill into the actual brick of the fireplace.

[@LittleHomeProjects]

Hi, my first thought was to drill directly into the stone and use a masonry anchor and bolt, but with the uneven stones i decided that was not going to work. My second solution is a little harder to explain. My stone work backed onto plywood and not drywall. I was planning on using a length of threaded rod and a wall anchor behind the stones and plywood. The anchor I was planning on using is shown in this follow up video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6PZpXhtqcR-q6c You raise a good point though. I don't actually know how much space there would have been behind the plywood and the actual fireplace chimney system. I'm not sure how to check that, sorry, I hope this helps a little.

[@izregistered]

@@LittleHomeProjects You could have done the original idea using the masonry anchor/bolt and used washers or spacers to level it up against the wall. I've done a few that way, takes less time and the result is still pretty much the same.

[@BeagleFerretTime]

Having so much potential motion for a TV mount above a fireplace strikes me as a really unwise choice of mounts. You can still use that fireplace with proper heatshielding and a static mount.

[@LittleHomeProjects]

What about the range of motion do you find concerning?

[@duramarks]

Great Video!

[@bogiev1]

What are the odds of hitting a stud?! Holy cow...

[@LittleHomeProjects]

I agree... but for fun, I'd say the math on the odds would be 1 in 16 !!!

[@moehio]

nice job! Do you live near Northeast Ohio?! I want you to come do mine!

[@LittleHomeProjects]

Sorry, maybe a little to far from Canada ;)

[@MikSrf723]

Did this cause any damage to the chimney?

[@LittleHomeProjects]

Hi! No, this was fine for the chimney. The brick in the room are just for show on this style of fireplace. These bricks could be removed and the chimney would still be fine.

[@justiceleaguer9108]

Are the anchor bolts SPX brand? 6”

[@LittleHomeProjects]

Sorry I don't know the brand. I think they were landscaping ties bolts from my local hardware and were 8 inches.

[@rickyrickharris4908]

Can you tell me were i can rent that drill

[@LittleHomeProjects]

i got mine from Home Depot, but I would assume any tool rental place would have something similar.

[@hawkinsdj99]

Great job

[@jtltet]

Just out of curiosity, how much time elapsed from the time you bought the first mount until you finally finished the job?

[@LittleHomeProjects]

It was around 3 weeks. I mostly only worked on it on weekends and I was a bit timid about drilling the holes into the brick. Thanks for the comment! :)

[@jegramat]

I find your explanation thorough and helpful but I am wondering how it would work if you don't hit the studs when drilling. How would you go about installing the mount?

[@LittleHomeProjects]

That's a great question. It's hard to explain in text, so I will work on a video next showing how I was planning on doing it. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

[@LittleHomeProjects]

Hi, I've made a video showing the parts I was planning on using if I had not hit the studs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6PZpXhtqcR-q6c I hope that helps or at least gives you some other ideas. Thanks for the comment!

[@LittleHomeProjects]

[@ClevelandTerry]

Excellent video. Where did you place the wires.

[@LittleHomeProjects]

Hi, thanks for the question! I didn't do anything too special for my wires. The TV is large enough that once I bundle them up I am able to hide them behind the TV. I made a video showing what I did here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6PZpXhtqcR-q6c

[@craedudley5376]

Keep it the same way.. I was educated.

[@daddy5010]

That is not an impact drill. That is a hammer drill. Big difference.

[@oliverghent]

Great work, but all of that for such a small tv?

[@bradt5426]

I would have to redo it if mine was offset like that

[@johnforrestboone1]

the install he did was ok - he just messed up very early - "i bought the only mount they had" - if he had done more critical thinking up front, it would have been a good install.

[@NYskyHI]

good job

[@LittleHomeProjects]

Thanks! I appreciate the positive feedback :)

[@mikeyeastaugh7173]

Yes please

[@seanbassam2148]

For some one who install this bracket some place before can't see why the TV never is going to be flash on the center of the fire place is a big no no ! also you need to apply liquid nail on the screws before you secure it , also when is a bracket with only one arm it never going to be on the center of the fire place , you have to install the back plate sideways and not on the center like what you did , if you don't have the TV flash on the wall and on the center of the fire place well it will never going to look good !

[@jbright97]

where are the wires?

[@LittleHomeProjects]

Hi, thanks for the question! I didn't do anything too special for my wires. The TV is large enough that once I bundle them up I am able to hide them behind the TV. I made a video showing what I did here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6PZpXhtqcR-q6c Thanks again!

[@rodparker4514]

You to mount a electrical box first .

[@hectorpichardogallardo5033]

Where is the electrical, great work but you missed the electrical and that will give a big down side installation I gave you a rating of 40% efficient.

[@fiskrond9212]

those are not actual stone.. they are formed blocks with a stone effect... NOT the same thing

[@richmichels5103]

call a professional....

[@johnforrestboone1]

this

[@halidabdurrahman]

All that work for a small TV.

[@caloferrero78]

OMG !!! SO MUCH DRAMA !!! DO YOU TALK TO MUCH .

[@LittleHomeProjects]

Hi caloferrero78 , thanks for the comment. Do you have any videos I should look at reference??
