Mounting my TV on the wall

I like your style

No 'attic lights,' 'attic plugs' anything like that?

Instead of labels that can get very vague there should be a little plan view of the house with numbers written in each area. Like a paint by numbers, but a wire by numbers.

 

Not that I recall. Where would this wire by numbers painting exist?

 

In my imagination. Was just thinking of a wish list out loud.

 

Gotchaaaaa.

I will just throw my volt meter into the plug set on AC and run down switch a breaker and run back up and check. It will be the absolute last thing I do so maybe it won't be to hot.

The only part I am truly dreading is patching the holes from where the cable and internet comes through the wall now. I've never done drywall repair.

 

Double top plates , that's normal framing routine

 

Alright. Mount, wires, etc showed up today.

This is the current setup. Disregard any mess. I have 2 boys; 2 & 3 years old. You can see Gracin in one pic helping measure.

I'll try to grab pics as I go.

 

Coming along. I'll run all the wires tomorrow.

 

Well I got it done.

Story time...

The mounting system for my sound bar wasn't meant to mesh, but I made it mesh and it worked well. Left the TV hanging last night, got up this morning and took it down and layed it on the bed so that kids couldn't mess with it and I could work on it after breakfast.

Wife decides that the TV isn't far enough onto the bed and goes to push it further up by the sound bar and snaps it smooth off!!

Well, I got a new sound bar out of the deal and the job is done. Looks amazing! I am afraid I hung it 2-3 inches to high but maybe it grow on me.

Pictures!!

In progress...



And done.

Took 3-4 hours total time keeping kids from chewing on wires and what not.

 

Looks great

 

Nice job

 

haha. looking good!
