Today's project...
My friends who just moved into a new house have a big flat screen that he wants to mount on the fireplace above the mantle. It looks like real stone, but it's cultured stone over brick. Very uneven surface would make it tough to mount the bracket.
I made this secondary bracket that I can just set on the mantle and with a couple screws down into the mantle, and a couple anchors into the mortar on the fireplace, it will be secure. That way I won't have to drill a bunch of holes into the stone, and the entire weight of the TV will be secure on the mantle.
Now I just have to find out what kind of finish he'd like me to put on it. Then we can install it.
