Hi everyone. I've had this wall mount,https://ift.tt/2qEYDL9 in my closet for almost 5 years because when I wanted to mount it, my dad, who doesn't know much about construction (if that's what you call it), said that the studs in our house could possibly be too brittle/thin to withstand the weight of my 39" 35 1/2 lb. TV. Specifically this one: https://ift.tt/2HbjtbB this true? If so, is there a method to determine if the studs behind my drywall are safe to mount the TV on? I know that I need to use a stud finder to actually find the studs, but I'm not sure if they give that detailed of information. I know pretty much nothing about construction so that it why I came to r/DIY to ask you nice folks for some advice. Googling extensively brought up results for a different type of problem people were having with old houses related to plaster walls.TBH, I simply think he just doesn't want me to make holes (albeit tiny ones) into the drywall as opposed to being afraid that the TV might fall, break, and rip out a good chunk of the drywall in the process.Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2Ha5neA
