I've ran into this twice in the last week, so I thought I would see what others are doing here...
The issue is a new home, new gas FP, has an outlet, and has either a low-volt box or tek-tube ready to go. Should be easy, right?
The problem is the stone goes all the way up the wall. There is was/is no prep for a mount. Typically what I would do in a remodel situation is work with the stone guy to have an opening, pop in a 2x10, ~30" long, add the mount on when its done, you get the drift...
In older homes, I've told people to have the stone removed by a pro, then build it back out for TV etc... I just hate to tell people in their brand new home, to start tearing things up.
What say you?
