To Mount or Not To Mount (the TV is the question)

Moving into a new home? Why you should consider mounting your TV and what you need to know before you install. 

When you are arranging your furniture and setting up your living room, where to put the tv is always an important question. 

As TVs have grown larger, this question grows even more importance. 

Should you mount your tv, and what should you consider when paying hiring someone to perform the tv installation.



Should you mount- the benefits:

The benefits of mounting your tv is a personal preference. But, being on a wall, it is less likely to be knocked over or get smudge marks on the tv screen from young kids. A tv also looks good hanging on a wall and with samsung options like the frameless TV, your entertainment center is now equal to a peace of art!

What you need to know before hiring:
Mounting your tv can be a daunting task. It is more than simply finding a stud and screwing it in. We asked to professional tv installers that are considered the best in their region, for the tv mounting services. 

1. Do you have the right tv mount? Do you want flat, tilt up and down, or full rotation?
2. How far apart are you studs? Is your mount large enough to reach between the two studs?
3. If you tv wall mount does not reach, do you know what drywall anchors should be used for your specific tv size, weight?
4. Is your power drill strong enough to run the lag bolts fully into the wall or do you have an impact gun?

Hiring a professional tv install company is important. However, be warned, there are several stories of individuals who “test” the business but do not really have the experience. You want to hire someone who is licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask to see pictures of their work (getting references is sometimes hard).

The Big Fuzzy Bumble Bee- What are they? Do they Hurt? How to Kill them.

 EFynch is a handyman and homeowner community board based in Baltimore, Maryland. We provide advice, guidance, and help facilitate communications so, as a homeowner, you can manage any project like a pro! (Baltimore, MD ) Every spring my home is flooded with big, bumbling, furry, clumsy bees. It literally looks like the early stages of some biblical catastrophe. When I first saw them, I didn't know what to do. They'd swarm, swoop, dive, and worst of all- they were living behind my gutters and in my deck digging holes in the wood! I immediately turned to social media where, just as expected, I received a host of conflicting information in which each respondent was more sure than the previous one. So, I rolled up my sleeves, put on my reading glasses and after intense research I compiled the information below and I hope this helps. Grab your tennis rackets and a can of WD-40, because we're in for a wild safari! 1. What are they? They are commonly known as wood

Shovel your driveway for convenience. Shovel the sidewalk or be FINED!

Image
By: Teris Pantazes of EFynch.com Timonium, MD: After every snowstorm you will ultimately hear the scrape of distant shovels and snowblowers. These are your good neighbors who are out clearing their driveways in order to avoid busting their Phisteris' or just taking a terrible slip.  But I have to tell you, it doesn't end there. As a dog owner (actually, 2 mutts in my household!), I take them out for an stroll every evening. I constantly encounter a lack of sidewalk clearing and because I don't want to be a nosy neighbor, I politely trudge through the snow risking my own demise. Therein lies a problem because without resolution, you are opening yourself to fines and even worse, HOMEOWNER LIABILITY. I live in Baltimore County. But, I have also managed properties in Prince George's, Montgomery, Anne Arundel, Baltimore City, and Washington D.C.  I can tell you without any hesitation of doubt that within each and these jurisdictions- THE SIDEWALK IS THE HOMEOWNERS

Hire a Handyman- Risk Identity Theft- The Pay Per Lead Industry you don't know exists

Image
Baltimore, MD: You've seen the ads on TV. By using that service the trusted home repair advisor who has made the "list" is only a click away. Your home improvement/ handyman fears are now diminished and the smiling (sometimes made up) personality is assuring your comfort. However, there is a glaring problem and it has to do with profits and the security of your personal information.  *The "Before We Start Disclaimer": Not every online home improvement company does what I am about to describe but, it is prevailant. It generates fast and easy income and even us at EFynch had once been heavily advised to participate. But in truth, it is simply sleazy (IMO)- we are not participating in this practice. Pay Per Lead is the horrible and deceptive practice that even the well-known brands in home improvement use. They collect your information (often without your knowledge) and then sell it to local contractors. Sometimes for a hefty fee and without your kno
