Mount LCD into Cinder block
Can I mount a LCD (40 inch / 50 lbs) into cinder block hosting a wood burning stove's chimney?
Please help me assess the possible installation of LCD screen on family room wall. It's a ranch house, the wall runs orthogonal to attic joist. It the longest interior wall, I assume it is load bearing as the wall devices one leg of a ranch home configured in an L.
The cinder blocks host a chimney flue for a fireplace. The blocks are behind wall board. No studs are in the wall here, just the cinder blocks. Either side of chimney there is dead space with lots of old wall board (as seen from the attic). In the crawl, the base of the cinder blocks are easily seen.
The chimney (30 years ago) was masonry, 10 years ago it was lined with (insulated) pipe for wood burning stove.
If the TV can be mounted and secured into cinder block, (and I decide to install over the fire place) let's ignore the issues of temperature and smoke,
What sort of screws and anchors does one use? (size type).
Other mounting advice?
thank you
