This was a great project. My local codes say no power cables can be routed through walls 😒. If I ever decide to do it anyway, and it catches fire, at least the evidence will burn up 🤷♂️
Ann Latham vinyl flooring also makes for a great (and cheap) accent wall. Plus it’s a good project to build up your skill with using it before tackling the floor.
Good job! I would have ran a data line as well ( Cat 6 or Cat 5e ) just in case you want a wired connection to the TV for streaming. I know that TV has wireless but wired is always better when possible. Thumbs up!
The "yawn/stretch/arm around shoulder" move was my go to back in high school. Great project, but I really just showed up to watch you climb through a tiny hole in your wall.
Love the project, did this myself last year only I have an actual fireplace with 3 inches behind the plaster and lath (house is circa 1916), and the adjacent wall only had 1.5" I also chose to run 3 hdmi, ethernet, optical and usb, even trickier, I put them all on wall plate. Plus I ran a dedicated power line for the tv, overkill I know. I spent a good 8 hours fishing all the wires but in the end it was all worth it. It looks amazing and my Partner is happy!!!
Definitely what a man does to get a free TV from LG!!! Bro, there are easier ways to hide the cables than all that crazy hard work!!! Just keep simple ........
Brad, I thought I had a challenge hanging my TV. This makes my situation seem so much easier. Also gave me a few ideas on how to overcome wiring and stud challenges. Thanks.
I've seen some of your videos and have never subscribed. I just subscribed to your channel because you shimmied into that small hole in the wall. I laughed out loud and told my wife to come look. I'm a handyman and have no footage to show my wife the craziness of my day. Well done!!!
Pretty decent for a diy. As a professional, we ALWAYS route wires through the attic or down to boxes. Hmdi wires should be at least 12” apart from romex to prevent distortion. Nice job
Great job, Brad! Love the TV choice as well. Trouble is, I am way bigger than you and would never fit through the hole you cut out, but my wife said it would have been fun to watch me try. Thanks for sharing.
Just a tip for anyone else attempting this. Every fire place will have technical specifications of minimum distances for things like mantels or TVs and they must be followed exactly or you will be voiding your insurance if you happen to burn your house down. Nice video Brad 👍🏽
@@larrybrown7299 This video has a modern fire place Larry to which i am referring, I actually do this in the real world Larry. i also wasn't referring to your old fireplace Larry. Welcome to the real world Larry. I am also a firefighter Larry and so i see it from both sides. Hopefully you don't burn your house down Larry
@@LeeroyReading You're great at sarcasm, you must be a fun spouse. Unfortunately you're not so great at helping me follow your pie-in-the-sky fantasy advice.
Funny, I was thinking of getting that OLED tv but settled for the LG 43" recently! Very informative, my parents and I have been thinking when they buy a new tv again I want them to have their tv above the fireplace but my dad has some concerns about the heat of the fireplace (wood burning) and the tv
I have the same TV and maybe the same mount. I do have a serious surround sound with Denton and Martin Logan that rally makes it seem incredible. Oh, not to mention the Philips Hue lighting. Makes for a GREAT experience. Anyway, you’re gonna love the TV. I hope you’re able to up the audio and lighting experience too.
Really liked the video. Wondering if you considered a temporarily way to bring the TV down to eye height when watching TV. My issue TVs over fireplaces is you're looking up when watching. Your's isn't that bad because you have no mantel.
Well done. So I fhad a similar setup situation and followed you direction and have TV's on stone wall over fireplace... However, the heat of the fireplace seems to be too hot (I do not have a mantle. Have you experienced the same issue? What's best way to deflect heat?
Look at Brad you ole sly dog you woof woof. The old yawn and reach move. Classic. Great video you learnt me some good info on this one. You should make a video with the behind the scenes deal. You make it looks so easy boss. Took me two hours to mount my TV
You need to put an RGB LED strip behind the TV!! I think it would accent the fireplace so much more too.. even just a dim white light around the back would look awesome. But either way, this looks amazing and you did a great job!!
How would you rate this LG tv now ? I’m on the fence between a 55 vs a 65“ also LG vs Sony ? Over the fireplace, brick install some what same scenario as yours.
The fireplace you have is actually a prefabricated fireplace with vented gas log system, which you would want to always burn with glass doors open. Closing the doors will not allow oxygen flow to the unit. Anyways interesting video and I'm curious on if the TV will hold up without having a mantel installed to deflect the heat.
Love it. I have a similar project, challenge is I do not have built ins or where to snake the power from. Also, fab TV, thinking by now they should have those on great discounts
Awesome! Nicely done and looks amazing! And by the way I want that TV as well now, so congrats to LG for the product placement at the same time. ;-) Keep up the good work, man!
OK that was informative. I’m looking at a TCL 75 inch QLED on sale at Sam’s Club but it’s got a three year warranty. I’m hiring someone to do what you do question is do I need the HDMI cords running through the wall and what would be the reason for that please advise. Thank you.
awesome video, I have one question for you or someone reading this. If you would have to charge for this job? how much would it be approximately? given the amount of time, steps and tools involved?
We use drop anchors and then all thread coming out of the stone making sure its as perfect as possible elevation and plum and level. Then you can use nuts to set a flat base all the way around. So the mount in many cases, does not ever touch the wall . Very strong and very durable esp in real stone work and masonry thats thicker then 4”
Awesome! I am planning to hang my old LG on a veneer wall, but I am a little scare to do that. I saw you just made tinny holds and I was thinking if I need to break or remove the existing veneer. Is there an specific type of bracket I need to use for a LG model 55SJ8500?
Can you do a video of a wood burning fireplace installation of a tv mount like how you able to look inside the chase was to see that the vent went straight up . But don't want to cut unless I can find the stud . And not get to close to the vent in chase. Can you give me some ideas? Thanks.

What do you think about vinyl plank flooring? I am about to put it over concrete floors . Do you know much about it?
@@annlatham I have a video on it! ruclips.net/video/6KEthELQfro/видео.html
Fix This Build That woohooo! Thank you very much!

Dude, so many good, funny moments in this build, especially the arm move at the end 🤣. Awesome work
Thanks, dude 😀
Must be nice to be able to crawl/look behind the fireplace. But what about the other 99% of us?
That’s so unnecessary
I can't get behind mine
was about to post the same exact comment haha but so true i would need a chinese man to call
I'm so happy to see that you actually tested the heat of the fireplace!
I don't plan on mounting anything on my fireplace, but boy this gave me some hidden storage ideas!
Mark Loveless what a waste of space! Everything is fake and cheap.
If you've got a similar setup there are definitely somethings you could do there!
Perhaps lure the Donald in with a trail of hamburgers.
Hidden storage ideas in this case probably means where he's going to hide the bodies
The picture frame mode is awesome.
Yeah, it's pretty sweet. And you can choose from tons of art and photos
Good job! I would have ran a data line as well ( Cat 6 or Cat 5e ) just in case you want a wired connection to the TV for streaming. I know that TV has wireless but wired is always better when possible. Thumbs up!
The "yawn/stretch/arm around shoulder" move was my go to back in high school. Great project, but I really just showed up to watch you climb through a tiny hole in your wall.
The hole climbing was by far the best part. Yawn move was a close second 😀
Did a general search on how to mount electrical above a fireplace and look who showed up! Now I have all the info I need. Thanks and rock on Mr. R.
Shimmying through that hole reminded me of the Ace Ventura rhino scene lol. Great project and video Brad, smmooooth move too.
This guy is very smart , creative, and detailed orientated.
Love the project, did this myself last year only I have an actual fireplace with 3 inches behind the plaster and lath (house is circa 1916), and the adjacent wall only had 1.5" I also chose to run 3 hdmi, ethernet, optical and usb, even trickier, I put them all on wall plate.

Sounds like you did a great job!
Wow brother!! You went above and beyond on this one! You did a great job and this one was a lot of work but well worth it! 👍🏼
Definitely what a man does to get a free TV from LG!!! Bro, there are easier ways to hide the cables than all that crazy hard work!!! Just keep simple ........
Put a 3x6 mantel over the fireplace made of cherry or walnut to deflect some of the heat.
We rarely use it, so we opted for lowest mounting we could get
Wow! What a thorough install video. And I really appreciate you vacuuming as you work. Nice work, thanks!
Wow the TV, wow the installation, wow the Shawshank Redemption move. Cool video Brad.
Thanks, JC!
finally appeared. after all this time waiting for your tutorial video. greetings from Indonesia
Yep, it's here!
Hella cool. We just bought a house and we are installing a mount and this video is a great stepping stone for us
Great explanation on how to search and identify if blocking exists and what type of structure it may be.
Thanks!
I don't even have a fireplace and found this video still very informative! Awesome Job! (as usual)
You always have such great tips in your videos! Love the PVC channel idea for the wires! Much easier than running a line each time.
Brad, I thought I had a challenge hanging my TV. This makes my situation seem so much easier. Also gave me a few ideas on how to overcome wiring and stud challenges. Thanks.
How did it go?
Gosh this is way more than I bargained for

This is especially crucial when all you have is space for the flute. I don't have a side wall like this guy.
I too love sneaking in and out tight places. Nice job and nice piece of technology. Cheers
Great job, Brad! Love the TV choice as well. Trouble is, I am way bigger than you and would never fit through the hole you cut out, but my wife said it would have been fun to watch me try.
Thanks for sharing.
That was quite a project but totally worth it. Looks so good there.
Totally agree!
Yes, we love how it brings the family room together and a new focal point for family movie night
Beautiful TV. Great video, great job
Wow that's actually a boatload of precision work! Wonder ow much would it cost to hire someone to do that....
$2200 (I'm guessing)
This was amazing! Such a professional job!!! I need to hire someone in Long Island because I dont think I can pull this off lol
Just a tip for anyone else attempting this. Every fire place will have technical specifications of minimum distances for things like mantels or TVs and they must be followed exactly or you will be voiding your insurance if you happen to burn your house down. Nice video Brad 👍🏽
Great info, didn't know that
My house is 50 years old, the builder is long since retired and dead. How am I going to discover those specs? Real world calling....

Very interesting. Good job simplifying a complicated project.
Bravo djali jem💪🏻💪🏻 tfort tka baba
Just saved me hours of head scratching and unknowns! thank you!! watching in 2022 aye!
Good work and the finished job looks good as well. Man, I like that LG TV a lot! Good video.

Love the static load test!
Wow amazing work 👍👍👌
Great job and great idea to test the heat before mount tv to the wall above fireplace 👍
NICE JOB!!! Coming from a retired electrician.
Thank you! Those extension kits are so cool
Thank you from Vietnam!

I've got Hue in the room, just need some speakers to match 😀👍
Did a similar mount. Wish this video was available back then
Yeah, I wish there was one out I could have seen as well!
Enjoy your videos Brad. I have used your designs for some of my garage storage
Amazing you tested the temperature. My first impression was puting a TV over there is gonna catch fire for sure...
Really liked the video. Wondering if you considered a temporarily way to bring the TV down to eye height when watching TV. My issue TVs over fireplaces is you're looking up when watching. Your's isn't that bad because you have no mantel.
are there any you tube award honors? crawling through the wall has to be nominated for something.
Thanks, did the heat affect the wire running in the wall?
Well done. So I fhad a similar setup situation and followed you direction and have TV's on stone wall over fireplace... However, the heat of the fireplace seems to be too hot (I do not have a mantle. Have you experienced the same issue? What's best way to deflect heat?

don't worry, this took me two days, lol
I'm honestly more impressed that in all that shawshank shenanigans you managed to perfectly keep your cap on backwards :P tv looks awesome
great instructive video. thank you.
You just keep delivering good content.
Good on you!
Thanks, Bill!
Thanks for the video and extra thanks for the links. Huge win with the links
What is the temperature in side the wall when the fireplace is running
?
Well done looks great . I had the idear of putting a TV on a chimney breast and where the fire would be to put the PlayStation and other bits .
11:50 this frame mode is insane bro!!!!!!
Pretty killer, right!
11:20 the moment that everyone was waiting for😂. Awesome work👍
this was a great video! love the detail you went into
You need to put an RGB LED strip behind the TV!! I think it would accent the fireplace so much more too.. even just a dim white light around the back would look awesome. But either way, this looks amazing and you did a great job!!
Great job, hope you've put led colour change strips on back of TV for backlighting, it would look awesome shining against the natural stone.
Awesome job Brad! Nice TV too! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 .... I felt every bit right along with you as you crawled in and out of the wall! 😁
Not as young as I once was, Fred 😀👍💪
@@Fixthisbuildthat same here! 😁
Great job on the video. Very descriptive
Beautifully done
Very nice job Brad.
Very thorough. Great video. Awesome T.V.!
Dude!!! The last part where you pulled the “arm stretch” move during the movie - good stuff. Thanks for the good content.
I still got those moves 😉😂
Boy you must really love that TV!
It is soooo nice
Great job! Quick question.. what was the size of your fireplace?
Great tips Brad!! Looks like Bourbonmoth has some competition with his "will I fit in that" series
Yeah, definitely need to port that scene to IG
How would you rate this LG tv now ? I’m on the fence between a 55 vs a 65“ also LG vs Sony ? Over the fireplace, brick install some what same scenario as yours.
I absolutely love it so far. Such an amazing picture and I like the software and home screen abilities
The fireplace you have is actually a prefabricated fireplace with vented gas log system, which you would want to always burn with glass doors open. Closing the doors will not allow oxygen flow to the unit. Anyways interesting video and I'm curious on if the TV will hold up without having a mantel installed to deflect the heat.
How is the sound on a thin t.v. such as your new one? Do you have/recommend a external sound system such as a sound bar or surround system?
Awesome video. I feel like you had the best case scenario for that install lol
Yeah, the access back there was great
Excellent info!!!!!!
You’re my hero dude
Did you consider a pull-down mount to address the mounting height issues for fireplaces?
I did, but they were super expensive and stick out way too far for my liking when pulled down
Love it. I have a similar project, challenge is I do not have built ins or where to snake the power from. Also, fab TV, thinking by now they should have those on great discounts
Nice work. What did you use to create the green level line?
Use a Bosch laser level
Same TV I've got. Hoped to mount it the same way, but my house construction is quite different.
Awesome! Nicely done and looks amazing! And by the way I want that TV as well now, so congrats to LG for the product placement at the same time. ;-) Keep up the good work, man!
Thanks!
Beautiful job
i dont own a fireplace, or a tv...or a house. i'm not completely sure why im watching this. But i feel informed
The more you know!
Great tutorial
When you do your built in you may want to incorporate a removable panel so you can get back there again if you have issues. Nice work
we have a gas fireplace to and i want to mount one above it. you have no issues with the tv overheating from the woodstove?
OK that was informative. I’m looking at a TCL 75 inch QLED on sale at Sam’s Club but it’s got a three year warranty. I’m hiring someone to do what you do question is do I need the HDMI cords running through the wall and what would be the reason for that please advise. Thank you.
How hot does it get inside the wall over the firebox? Doing a similar project, was wondering if you get more heat inside the wall?
Great video! Really informative.
Thanks!
Do you have to use special HDMI cables for fire resistance since it's over a fireplace or can you use put reg HDMI cable in the wall?
What size masonry bit and screws did you use to mount the bracket?
awesome video, I have one question for you or someone reading this. If you would have to charge for this job? how much would it be approximately? given the amount of time, steps and tools involved?
We use drop anchors and then all thread coming out of the stone making sure its as perfect as possible elevation and plum and level. Then you can use nuts to set a flat base all the way around.
