I Tried to Mount My TV Alone. My Wall Paid the Price.

I thought mounting my TV would be a quick win—save money, skip the handyman. I spent hours comparing mounts, then realized I didn’t even know if my wall had studs. The stud finder beeped everywhere and nowhere. I drilled anyway. The first anchor crumbled the drywall. I kept going. By the time I was done, there were six holes, two toggle bolts, and a bracket that wobbled if you breathed near it. I spent $60 on hardware, another $30 on a level I didn’t trust, and my Friday night cleaning up dust. Now there’s a TV on my wall, but I flinch every time the bass drops. I don’t know if I saved money or just bought myself a new anxiety. #DIYDisaster #HomeBudgetFail #BrokeButCreative #Home #HomeMaintenanceRepair
