How do you guys typically lift big TV’s onto the mount by yourself? I’m a strong guy, but I’m concerned about running into a situation where I’m mounting a 70+ inch TV high above the ground.

I’ve been checking the competition in Dallas and getting a quote to mount a 65” hiding the cable inside the wall. The initial offer was $250 including a mount and tv cable hiding kit. He shows me the kit which according to Amazon is a fire hazard. I told them I don’t need a mount and the price drops to $190. He also offers me to install an outlet instead but for the same price? How do you guys handle in-wall cable hiding?

Just some thoughts on my last two months of really going deep on using ChatGPT and now mostly Google Gemini to restructure my business, and how I’ve used it too help me target my advertisement to even higher paying jobs. My average invoice went from around $440, to now around $520 per job. Over an average of around 100 jobs per month, that’s a big jump.

This has been a fun personal project! From a tiny Storage Closet to The Mounting Man Command Center What you’re looking at started as a plain 74” x 42.5” x 95” high storage room. It's just a storage room on the floor of my apartment complex I pay $25 a month for. ...they don't know I have this sort of thing going on in here. Now, it’s my personal Command Center — a full build-out experiment in creating cinematic home workspaces for professionals who want something way more inspiring than a beige cubicle. The back wall features black wood slats with LED lighting perfectly fit within them. The left wall is covered in acoustic panels and two IKEA shelves — holding a couple of DeWalt drills, a mesh Wi-Fi router, my very first Black & Decker drill I bought for $39.95 at Target to start The Mounting Man, (mounted inside a DeWalt Tough System 2.0 case), a painted plaster cast of Malia's foot, and a vintage camera. On the right wall, the bottom half has more acoustic panels, topped with chicken mesh wire for that gritty, tactical aesthetic. The floor is tile that Malia and I got from Menards--she laid most of the tile herself. The entire space is wrapped in black wallpaper, with a black desk, sleek chair, and a 43” TV monitor backed by blue LEDs. A black marker board finishes it off for brainstorming or sketching new Mounting Man ideas. Here’s the fun part: I designed the entire concept using the TV accent wall visualizer I had Google Gemini build a couple weeks back. I simply uploaded a photo of the empty storage room (the “before” pic here), gave it the dimensions, and told it to make a spy-style command center in my signature aesthetic. What it generated was nearly identical to what you see now. I just bought the parts, mounted them all, and built it. This marks a new chapter for The Mounting Man — expanding beyond TV installations into full accent wall and office build-outs. The back wall of this command center is basically a miniature TV accent wall, proving what’s possible even in tight spaces.

Working on a fun little idea to put on my site as to why my same day installs are possible. The Mounting Man to the rescue.
