Just a question for all of you handyman types.
Ideal place to hang a new TV to fit with the furniture arrangement is on an exterior wall. I am concerned that fasteners; lags, bolts or whatever will pierce the vapor barrier. Should I be concerned about that?

First off, I am not an expert. I just do sh!t.. I am assuming you are going directly into the stud, I have done this and drilled pilot holes first. I am hoping the bolts snugged the barrier tight enough to not cause an issue.
Good Luck, I am sure someone will have a better answer than me.Air Force Veteran 1976 - 1999 - Cannabis Enthusiast since the 1960's

I tell it like it is, if you want smoke blown up your ass or something sugar coated. I suggest you get a Hooker and a powdered donut.

Just a brainstorm thing - I'm not experienced with this stuff - but got a double sided tape like the one below off amazon for some shelves (floating kind of) and a few other fixtures. Haven't used it yet but got it since I'm not allowed to drill or any stuff like that where I'm at. There are many variants for different materials and conditions, some waterproof etc so can put up stuff in bathrooms etc. Used industrially so it's not like the tape you find in regular stores and hold a lot of lbs. Smaller pcs supposedly hold 50 lbs+ or something like that. Maybe something to consider? Removing it may be messy though, thought I read can loosen up with heat gun but not sure tbh.

Thanks Fellas
I should haver mentioned; Under the drywall is a vapor barrier, then the insulation/studs, then there is a silver film covered insulating foam wall board..it is sealed really tightly with tape at all joints. then the brick. My instinct is that hitting a stud square and dead center would be fine, but I am not sure they are located conveniently. Admittedly I dont know much about the frame/bracket choices.Please record my time/reps if I pass out
