    I never understood the need for radiant floor heating in bathrooms. Is a cold tile floor that much of an issue to need a heating system for it? Just sayin'

    Why have cold feet when you don't have to? Do you use AC in your truck for comfort?

    So im pretty much all done with my project. I still may remount the TV, it ended up about 3 inches higher than I wanted. Ill be picking up a sound bar soon, but for now i am pleased.

    I used 4 3" lag bolts on the studs and Hilti 1/4" Toggler anchors on the right. I replaced the included phillips head screws with 1/4" bolts. I had a 150lb asian guy hang from the mount, its solid.

    2017-07-15 12.21.55.jpg

    Patched the area and completed my hookups, so much cleaner now. Made all the ethernet cables myself with the Cat6 cable i found un the crawl space. Last pic i have from underneath.

    2017-07-09 16.57.45.jpg

    The other end of the ethernet port goes into the next room. I set up the old router as an access point for the new one, i can now get wifi in the bedroom.

    2017-07-28 15.25.53.jpg

    ALL HAIL PRESIDENT BANNON!



    I ran some speed tests before i started. I set the router to the same 802.11n signal as the old one, then ran some new tests. Over a 100mbps improvement! Not bad at all.
