The TV hanging bracket is on the wall. The special giant recessed box that goes in the middle of the bracket to house the rediculous amount of cables that a modern LCD TV with a computer connection requires to funciton is ran. Down below that, two triple-gang bays are cut in the wall, the right one with video hookup cables and 2 network ports, the left one with all of the 7.1 surround speaker interconnects.
On either side of those, a single gang bay with speaker posts for the right and left floorstanding speakers. Above those two bays, eventually a single gang bay for the center speaker will go somewhere as soon as I figure out exactly where I am putting it.
Also got the two side surround speakers cut and mounted in the wall. I wanted seperate components for the front speakers so I could go a little upmarket on the units and not feel bad about leaving them when I move. The side speakers are not so spiffy, but they will do the job.
The rear speakers are going into the ceiling, and are going to be a complete ***** to install. I'll be replacing some carpeting upstairs with bamboo flooring at some point, and when i have the carpet up, i'll get to take the plywood floor sheet up, or at least part of it, run cable over to the speakers, then drill a hole down the wall and a matching hole inside the wall from under the house, and then somehow magically catch a fish tape. I expect that one will drive me quite insane. well, insane-er. anyways...
I can't hang the TV itself quite yet because I need to get an electrician in to run a single outlet behind the TV into the new super mega wall box of doom specifically designed for that purpose. Once that is in, i also still need to run the Ethernet cable for behind the TV, but I suspect that will be a project for next month so i'll probably wait on that.
After i get all that done, the network cable project starts.
The good news is I only have to do this project once!
