Mount TV over fireplace question
Planning to mount a recessed TV mount (Mantel mount MM815 with RB100 recessed box) over the fireplace. Before I cut into the drywall, I was able to take pictures behind the wall through a coax box. There seems to be a stud right over the center of the fireplace. Given this is already interrupted by the fireplace, my assumption is that it is safe to cut, but hoping to get some other opinions before I do, or best practices in terms of needing to box out around it. The stud closest in the picture is the one in question. For more context, we are on the 3rd floor of a 3-story walk-up. The original structure was built in 1900; you can see where new studs meet old. submitted by /u/bett3r_together [link] [comments]
