Hi,
I am in the middle of decorating and i am trying to figure out how to put the tv on the wall, the wall is between the front room and the hallway and it is 10mm plasterboard with eggbox backing (about 35mm) and then the 10mm plasterboard that is in the hall, i have cut a few holes and there doesnt seem to be any wooden supports, just the plasterboard which seems to be just one piece?!!?
I was going to cut a section out and put some ply wood in place of it but as there seems to be nothing to fix it too.
Maybe the only other option is to make a false chimney but only make it come out about 2" and make that from ply and fix the tv to that? Would i use plugs and screws to fix it to the plasterboard, would that hold the weight on the wood and tv?
Sorry about all the questions, hopefully someone will give me some ideas or a solution!
Thanks in advance!
And yes, the tv does have to go on this wall.
