Screw an eye bolt or some sort of hook into a ceiling joist or rafter and then use a pulley system to do the lifting. Easy enough to cradle the tv in some nylon straps. You can tie down the pulley system while you work on the tv. If I were nearby I would love to help.
I was brought up by depression era parents who appreciated the value of a dollar and wouldn't pay anyone to do something they could do. I assumed these values along with necessity. I the rural area in which I lived we did it without calling Best Buy (which didn't exist) or pulling up a video on the web (which didn't exist). I saw some nice everyday inventions which got us by. Before duct tape and super glue we had coat hanger wire and binder twine.
I am amazed at how inept people are today. My stepdaughter was visiting me and her son called and said that the stool in the bathroom would not stop running and wondered what to do. He is now an MD and is so frickin' smart, but lacks what many call common sense.
Installing huge tv with drywall lifter ?
As TV’s have become insanely large and heavy, it’s getting harder and harder to find a friend to come help.. I’ve exhausted all my helpers and need a tool move my 85 in Sony (110lbs) by myself. All I need to do is add an Apple TV. Quick and simple and not worth calling a friend again.
Surely someone has a tool, jack, or lift for quickly lifting a TV on the wall. I was told a Drywall Lift may be what I’m looking for but those sure are big.
Anyone else had any luck with something like this?
