Tips before you mount

• Houses around the historic square can have old plaster and balloon framing: locate studs by stud finder and pilot hole before committing to a mount position.
• New-build communities such as Mobberly Farms use modern framing; ask the builder for blocking if you plan a large TV or full-motion arm.
• Rural lots may have older wiring and limited electrical capacity; confirm panel capacity before adding a home theater.
• Manufactured homes: wall panels are thin and studs can be spaced wider; hit framing and consider added blocking.
• Lake-area patios get heat, wind and storms; use outdoor-rated TVs under cover with stainless hardware.
• NEC 400.12 forbids a regular TV cord inside the wall; use a recessed power kit and CL2/CL3 cabling.
• Black clay soils can shift slabs and cause drywall cracks; avoid mounting across them.
