Any chance I could hire you for the install? I think I found the iron framing and you’re correct, it’s nowhere near where I would need it to be.

Trying to mount a full motion TV, would that be okay?

It’s 63 lbs with up to a 20” extendable arm.

I might just have a professional do it. Where did you go to hire your handyman?

My tv is 63 lbs and I want to put it on a full motion extendable swivel mount, so don't want to risk it.

So it seems plaster has moderate strength, more than dry wall, for light-to-medium things. Is that correct?

The only super heavy thing I am trying to find studs for is a full motion TV mount for a 63 lb TV which will be extended and from the wall. The rest of my stuff I can use command strips for.

What kind of anchors did you use?

And what kind of mount?
