TV Install

As I mentioned before, we were planning to place the television on the blue accent wall in the Living Room:

As you notice in that picture, the plugs for both the power and the cable are located at the bottom of the wall. When placing the TV in the middle of that wall this would leave several wires exposed and would generally look pretty messy. Chris planned to run the wires further up the wall and create new outlets. He is pretty handy and this isn't that big of a job for him, but I was impressed. 


This started a debate on the proper height of the TV. After some debate and an internet consult, the TV is placed a eye level while standing (for those who are super serious TV watchers, the 'correct' height is sitting eye level, but we thought that was too low). And the boy went to work:

Look Ma, no wires! He did a pretty awesome job and the only lose thread is that the switch that you see in the picture did control that electrical outlet...now it doesn't control anything....oh well. When you have TV, you care much less about the orphan outlet. 


And since Jenna asked, here is another picture of this wall with the flooring (we are still working out the placement of the cable box, so it is hanging out below right now):
