Can anyone out there in DR1 world recommend a vendor that can carefully mount an LCD TV for me into concrete walls? (I'm in Santo Domingo).

I would naturally do the work myself but I don't have any of my tools or equipment in this country.

Gracias!

Do you have the mount already ? be careful when you buy it. I went cheap and the tv goes off level when rotated :mad:
For the instalation i used nylon anchors (not the colored stuff, the strong grey ones) 10 mm and hex head stainless lag bolts 1/4" x 2".

May not be sufficient, as the 'empanete' layer is often rather thick.
I use metal anchors (Hilti type, 4" long) and at least 3/8" or better 1/2" bolts.

Yup it's already mounted downstairs, I want to move it upstairs. I've got no tools, thought about investing and buying at the freterria, pero what's the point I'm renting and leaving in a year anyway...

Thanks for the suggestions!

I wish i didn't know the cost of my flat panel :ermm:
Your perception of the strenght of quality nylon anchors
is completely wrong, but i don't blame you, construction
knowledge is very deficient here. But if you feel good making
enormous holes and giant screws, good for you :laugh:...
