I like the idea of having a flush finish and it seems secure enough. With that much wood in there, the whole building could come crumbling down except for that wall and the plasma. It will definately be a lot of work tearing out all that plaster, but i think I can pull it off. So, tear out the plaster slide a stack of well fastened 2 x 12 boards between studs, screw them with deck screws......Are deck screws strong enough? Ah, your the pro right. So we screw, put wall back up and add a little paint to finsh it off.....good enough. Thanks man.

By the way Larry the wall has a 2 x 4 frame. So we have about 2" of plaster followed by empty space and then more plaster which is the wall for the room on the other side. Got any other ideas? Love to hear them.

Thanks for all the help guys. I really appreciate it and it's not that I am to cheap to get a pro or that I feel spending the bucks isn't worth while, I just really enjoy the satisfaction of doing this sort of thing.
