your right i dont really want to use the fire place, but if i could get around not diong that? i really dont know??Crafty said:If you dont want the fire there anymore, which is what it looks like, Then you can put the equipment on the rack in the opening there. You have a stud wall, so it should be easy to cut a hole behind the TV and drop the cables down behind the fire place. The speaker outlets and the other face plate will need moving of course.
Worth noting many manufacturers wont cover TVs that have been mounted above a large heat source such as a room heater.
i dont thnk i follow you on the false wall concept. Maybe a diagram?andyboyo said:what a mess!
I have installed a few plasmas and what i always recommend is either ' cable chasing' or a false wall.
cable chasing is where you cut a channel in the wall plaster lay the cables in and plaster back over to regain a smooth wall.
a false wall would just be that , a false wall constucted out of tiber frame and plaster board all the wires can then be installed behind it.
if you dont want to do the whole wall you could do like a false chimney breast !!
thank you for your advise, i have plenty more projects i will soon be asking about. I bought this house 2000 sq. ft , only the outside done. inside only studs. Ive done the floors, electrical, sheetrock, ect... and i cant even come up with simple ideas..Crafty said:Couple of hours lol. I'd have fitted a plinth heater into the base at floor level, since theres no fire there now
