We moved into our new house ten years ago next month; so it was a new house ten years ago. I've already written about how I hate to fix something that is broken because, basically, you spend a lot of time, effort and money to end up right back where you started. This time nothing was broken, but nothing was right either.The picture to my left is of our family room entertainment system, such as it is, or should I say, such as it has been since we moved in almost ten years ago. Our TV set, half in and half out of a large niche, the cable box and TiVo in a cabinet underneath with all of the audio equipment stacked up on a small table next to it. We had the ever popular mass of cables running between the two for extra added ambiance.
OK, there was nothing broken here, it just looked like...hmmm, what's that word? Oh yeah, shit. It looked like shit, and it looked that way for almost ten years.
We had reason to hire a cabinet maker recently (I'll tell you about it sometime) and besides the main project we had him in to work on, we had him design a cabinet for the TV and audio equipment.He came last week and we couldn't be happier. It's nothing fancy, but it sure looks a lot better than what we lived with for almost ten years.
We are getting new speakers for Christmas and having someone who knows what they are doing install them around the family room.
Oh and it's just a coincidence that there is always a football game on the TV when pictures are taken.
And lastly, if anyone is wondering, "Yes, that TV weighs just as much as you imagine!"
