We painted it once rendering completed.The edges of these beds where beads were put are now showing sign of rustings that are gradually appearing and growing through the whole length of the beads.

    Tv mount on plasterboard

    I have a 55inch TV that I want to mount on to the wall. The wall is plaster board and there’s one wooden beam going straight down the centre. We want to put it on this wall as the rooms an awkward shape and there’s not really any other options. Would this be okay? We have the wall plugs that the mounts come with and some reinforced ones we brought. Will the wall hold the Tv? Or will it cause damage to the wall and risk it coming down
