Unfortunately, this house's exterior walls are cinder block filled with cement. There aren't any studs, just drywall and then the concrete/cinder block. I bought a TV mounting kit that was for either stud or cement.
My hesitation is that the lag bolts that came with the kit might be short by the thickness of the drywall. I would imagine I should have the same amount of bolt into the wall as if there was no drywall in front of it. Should I buy lag bolts that are another .5" longer? Also, do I need anchors in the cement for the bolts or do I just screw the lag bolts directly into the cement?
