I know roofing is expensive and you have said it's not in the cards. It's a 19th century detail inconsistent with the style of the house. The rest of the house would be neutral to the brick (not contrasting) with just a punctuation mark of black in some detail, I would remove the kick plate. I might be looking at some version of coral like a Flamingo feather for the front door, or citrus, and I might consider turquoise. In Florida, in the 40's and 50's lots of tropical colours looked fabulous. I would add some larger, modern lighting to the roof gable to brighten it up and add drama to the 'arrival' experience I would also look at vintage and restored ranch houses for inspiration.

The shutters and gable could match or be two tones deeper if your house is in full sun, or two lighter if it faces North. Here in Toronto Canada I would use charcoal grey because of our light.

If it were my house, I would paint out the garage door to blend in visually with the brick colour (looks like it might be taupe) and then paint the front door a brighter attractive colour to draw attention to the entry way - could be blue or could look at shades and tones of orange or coral (from light to very deep) that work in your light. Lot's of potential, a fortune to realize!! I'm 10 years into trying to improve this baby. I've got a 1958 rancher in Toronto, Canada. But you end up with nuts and washers exposed on the outside, unless you counter sink them and grout over. You basically through-bolt some threaded rod all the way through the wall. If the wall is in good sound condition, 4-6 chem anchors will work.ДЄnother trick is called fish plating. If you're dead set on using the wall, use chem-anchors (2-part epoxy and a piece of threaded rod). But let the carrier take the load, not the wall. Then if you want, sheath the carrier with plywood, drywall, tile, etc, what ever makes it look good.

Anchor the carrier securely at the floor and the ceiling joists, then install the TV's support plate. Let the carrier take the load, not the wall. If you free-stand it (which I think you should do if the wall is in poor shape), think about framing out a support carrier from floor to ceiling, right up against the wall. The brick wouldn't holding anything more than a #10 moly with 10-15 pounds on it. We ended up having to free-stand the trays. We had to anchor the cable trays and mechanical equipment to the walls and ceilings and it was miserable. I did a cell tower antenna co-location job recently, and the building had terra cotta brick everywhere under the plaster and lath (building was ancient). That stuff shatters and the hole gets pretty ragged. I wouldn't recommend drilling into terra cotta brick for drop in or expansion anchors. By the way, what will be the best bit choice to drill into this wall - should I use a hammer drill or not?

As a compulsive over-builder, maybe I'm panicking too much. As an alternative, would a large sheet of plywood attached with many anchors as well as some adhesive be a better alternative? Is that not enough.? than maybe a bigger sheet of plywood going all the way to the floor with some 'legs' attached to the edges actually resting on the floor - these could double as wire runs if they were 3-sided columns. Add to that the articulating nature of the mount and I guess that weight is multiplied (physics has failed me again).

Is there an anchor that will let me sleep at night using only 4-6 attachment points with the mounting bracket I am considering? Sanus VMAA18 The articulating arm itself weighs ~30 lbs and the TV about 60.

I'm also very fearful of the brittleness of the terra cotta blocks (now ~90 years old, though I guess they were always brittle). I'm very concerned abour using typical conrete/brick expansion anchors in this situation. I understand that the blocks are covered on the inside with a 'mud' layer, then plaster. The construction of the home is terra cotta block (or 'bricks'). Wall-mounting the plasma TV (42') with an articulating arm is clearly the best setup for the room.ДЈ. I've volunteered to furnish an HDTV setup to my critically-ill father-in-law.Дў.
