I thought I'd show everyone what I've been up to for the last week or so.
This is what I had to work with:
And this is what it will eventually look like:
I started the cable installation last Tuesday evening around 2100, stopped at 0200, started again Wednesday morning at 0900 and finished around 1500 so in reality it took less than 1 day which was a lot less than I had expected.
The surround speaker cables are hanging down through the downlight holes as I haven't yet finalised the position of the surround and back speakers, which are going to be ceiling mounted.
When I do small holes will be drilled in the ceiling and the cables will be routed there.
This is what it looked like after paint:
Prior to the plasma going back up it was blinged up with 3 sets (10 strips) of Trettioen blue LED light packs from IKEA.
And after the plasma was put back on the wall:
The plasma is mounted so the center of the screen is 100cm from the floor. I have always mounted my plasmas at this height as it makes for perfect viewing when sat on the sofa.
The keen eyed amongst you may have noticed the double gang brush faceplate which does a great job of tidying up the cable exit/entry hole.
This was last Friday but apparently it was the wife's birthday and I had to take her out or something... so the work was put on hold until the following day.
