Today I’m going to show you how to mount your tv to the wall and hide the cords. We finally got around to mounting our TV on the wall this weekend. Mounting your tv to the wall and hiding all the cords is fairly straight-forward. Here’s a step-by-step tutorial. Have fun! Show
 Oh rrrright. Because I’m the President of the Procrastinators Club. I even added this project to my to-do list, and I still put it off another 5 months. Shame. To tackle this project you will need a few supplies. Some obvious, some not so much.
Here’s the eye-sore before we tackled this afternoon project: Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to mount your tv onto you wall and hide all the cords.First thing you need to do is buy a mounting kit.Here is the exact same one we have. Step 2: Attach brackets to the back of the TV and a large mounting bracket to the wall.(Dropping a TV power cord through your wall isn’t “to code”. To do this project to code you will need a THIS.) We laid the TV face down and attached the brackets. Step 3: Mount your tv bracket to the wall.Do not be intimidated. This is easy!! First, locate the studs in the wall. You want the bracket to be bolted directly to the studs. Once your studs are all located and marked with a pencil on the wall, hold up your bracket, use a level, and use a pencil to mark all the holes where your bolts will go. Now remove the bracket and drill a pilot hole into the center of each of your bolt markings, like this: Your mounting kit is officially ready to go. Now the real fun begins. Let’s run those cables through the wall!!To hide your cords, all you have to do is cut two holes in your sheetrock and drop them through the wall. It’s really easy as pie. Start by cutting your top hole. Cut it inside the bracket area to make sure it’s well hidden once your TV is mounted. If you are mounting your TV on an exterior wall (the other side of the wall is the great outdoors) you will probably have to push through insulation to get your cables through the wall. Unfortunately this does not work on brick or cement walls. All you need to do now is shove those cords through the wall. But wait! There’s a really easy way to do this. It’s called Steel Fish Tape. This is Steel Fish Tape: Shove the end of the Fish Tape through the top hole in the wall… From there, lift the TV up and hook it onto the mounting bracket.You are done!
