Sorry, what I meant was, I got a costco mount and paid for their install service in Feb, that was what led to the destroyed TV this month. I didn't pay too close attention but the guy who installed it basically completely hosed it up. Not sure what kind of refund I can get for the service but I submitted a claim on the Costco website regardless. The comment about "don't move the TV" also came from some Costco install tech as well. pentyne fucked around with this message at 06:58 on Jan 1, 2023 |

there was a notice in the install sheet that the swivel arm bracket has to be centered on the wall plate if the wall is masonry. that absolutely did not mean that you can't use the full range of motion of the swivel arm, just that you can't slide it left to right relative to the plate (which you would have to unmount the tv to do anyway) yell at costco until they replace your tv, installer was hosed and unless you had some kind of OLED panel that $350 65" hisense they've got right now is probably an upgrade, demand one of those

Uh, Costco would have to replace the TV, Mount, and fix the drywall if it came out in a chunk.

Yeah I mean you should be able to easily show that it wasn't on a stud and get them to replace the TV and the install fee.

You can see from the pressure mark on the bottom part of the wall that it's been doing this for a fair bit.

If there's actually some reason he couldn't use lag bolts into studs and there was really no better way to install it, then he should have said "Sorry there's no way to install this, put your TV on a stand." That's the shittiest install I've ever seen. Costco absolutely owes you everything to fix this.

That's for real, I just installed a single-stud mount a couple weeks ago and I drilled and sank 2 lag bolts, and the sinking was done with a socket wrench. Looks great (outside of where my studfinder initially told me to drill and I hit the outside of the stud  ) and it's solid.Whoever installed that did absolutely 0 attempt at work, period.

That's a rookie TV install, I've installed mounts into studs I could hang off of myself. Don't let Costco weasel out of compensating you for this, and don't trust their installers again either I guess.

I have installed three different TV mounts and while I am extraordinarily non-handy and each probably took four times longer than it should have, I still managed to do a better job than this installer. I have faith that Costco (PBUC) will make it right without too much effort, but don’t let them get away with it otherwise.

That’s not even a decent drywall anchor like you might use for curtain rods, it’s a drywall anchor you might use for a loving toilet paper holder. Hell it’s probably not even big enough for that.

Dick Fontaine posted:Lol at all these fools still cracking their studs with lags. Haven’t you heard the good news of our lord and fastener the structural screw? Hell yeah. I used four of those for my TV mount, and reused the same four when I bought a new mount. The second two screws seem superfluous with the strength the first two have. Also get a mount from Monoprice, there's no reason stamped steel should cost as much as it does anywhere else. Mine is a full motion mount with a single arm that glides with very little effort. Edit : I would absolutely trust a smaller TV to Zip Toggles in drywall though. Smaller being 40" (maybe 55") and on a stationary mount. The repeated movement from a full motion mount would make me nervous, plus the torque when the TV was pulled out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHb-Tcvkn7M StormDrain fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Jan 1, 2023 |

I'm just now realizing he used the washers because the screw head was too small for the mount holes.

If anyone was looking for exercise equipment or weights and the like my local Co' had a bunch on sale. Been looking for adjustable dumbbells for our home gym for a while and found some Bowflex model thats a lot cheaper than I'd seen around the past year.

Went to church today to pick up the weekly necessities and there was a car backing up 2 dozen cars all the way to the inlet streets because they were insistent that they wanted a spot close to the entrance, and were willing to hold up all other traffic for 5 minutes while they waited for a car to pack up their purchases so they could get their spot. They were an able-bodied person (yeah, I hate watched them park and get out of their car to ensure that they were a bad person, and not me.) Hell is other people at Costco.

I've still got a about a month and a half on it, but I really cut my spending this year. I'll still take the discounted membership. It'll probably end up being about $90-$95 by the time the period ends.

Occasionaly bites me in the rear end when someone parks 1" from my rear bumper and trunk access is more difficultAlso got my first voucher report: $199 coming next month, more than I thought, so I'm thrilled

Was having lunch with a friend today and got a text from my stepmom that our Church has Kirkland Omeprazole for $6.99 per box. Even though the signage didn't mention a limit, the cashier told me it's five boxes per membership. Even their normal price of $9.99 is far cheaper than Target/Meijer/etc. Score!
