You must be in a stick built CYV, my 2011 built CYV in Tamarind Grove is masonry, so I don't mess with mounting anything on exterior walls. I did call the 'Hangman', he's listed in the Sun paper classified and lives in Bridgeport. He'll hang anything, I used him for curtains and pictures. For TV and hiding cables there is also Villager AV, he lives in St. James and does that full time.

I mounted a TV last year but used an interior wall and found there was both metal and wood studs. I had to move my intented location a couple of times until I could find a wood stud and then work around metal studs hiding the wires.
