I was not talking about Religion. I am talking about Physics.

Jeez, not a single comment about how the relation between the Blood and Music might be even the slightest bit interesting.

I am done here. Goodbye. Sayonara. Yawnful ones.

Go on about your business of Hotpockets and whatever.

talking politics here is risky enough but getting into religion my friends is a slippery slope that if were smart we will keep out of the conversations so as too all remain friends.those of a higher power here,and im not talkin the lord will not tolerate it!trust me ive had some experience with this-lol.peace jocks.

Your post was solid, but I need few cups of coffee to get my music and blood in sync in the am. Give me time to develop a equally thoughtful reply.

 

Cut up chorizo with some scrambled eggs and cheese with a hash brown or 2 is a good breakfast

I am good.

 

Needs a Creamer….

Unless you prefer coffee served "Half & Half"....

Methinks this should do…..

 

Anybody see anything wrong in this picture?

This is the fireplace/tv wall with the fur out to create the niche.
Super unsafe.

What would you do?

i agree but it seems the trend these days to put the tv over the fireplace.i hate it myself and would never do that.

- pottz

I think y'all are missing the point entirely.

The tv over the fireplace is okay. It's extending the firebox with 2×4 and drywall instead of fire brick that was the dangerous part. Code also requires a non-combustible field for 6" to either side and 12" to the top.
All of those are violations here.

This was meant for my thread on "tired of unsafe client requests".

The job, which we did, btw, was wall to wall, floor to ceiling cabinets. This was done in Bronze Chemetal. It turned out gorgeous, but, it was like pulling teeth to get them to revise their work to meet fire safety regulations.

The tv ended up flush in plane with the wall panels withy only about 1/4" of gap between.

apparently this wasn't being inspected? i didn't even notice that,i just hate tv's over fireplaces.

 

The homeowners used a handyman and didn't pull a permit.

Go figure.

 

I don't like the tv over a fire place. Way to high and will be hard on the neck over time.

Not really my style. 1. Don't own a TV 2. Really prefer the real deal for fireplace.

 

Sounds like someone needs a Joe Biden oatmeal raisin cookie.

My wife wants me to make her a fireplace tv stand. I don't like them. So we will eventually have one.

 

Oatmeal cookies are in the process of being made- next week

Watching the fire burn would be a good topic on our experiences in front of the fireplace. Regardless of the fire was it shared with a TV or a woman.

Cookies coming soon.

Trying to get my Mom in FL a shot- there is a lot of media/distribution hype - "no appointments available". is what you most likely get.

In 2003, a 32" SONY was the cat's meow- I did something similar to what DS posted. We took the existing fireplace customized it with a rustic cherry mantel (no CNC) and ran elect./ sound wires behind the walls. Here were these beautiful views from the family room and above the family room fireplace a 32" TV.

My idea of being in front of a fireplace…

Question: will there be a cellphone there as well?

 

I guess I'm in the minority of not hanging the tv on the wall. I just hate making holes in the wall after I patched previous holes before I painted.

Holes in drywall is similar to plastic surgery- miracles in chemistry. I say from experience…

Here is some info on the 5 types of drywall finishes…

How about a level 5?

And a shout out to my trusted sander…

PS. to all you drywallers- Hot Mud

 

What is sitting in my Living Room…

Made it from Ash. Weighs a bunch….all so the Boss can enjoy that electric fire place insert….and a BIG, WIDE TV…

Figured that I could BUILD one a lot better than the one she wanted from OddLots….

Maybe?

What she was looking at…...Thinking mine was a little better…

 

Bandit- Thank you for posting! There is a market…. many people have different needs and tastes. And the comfort of fire- whatever warms your heart…

Always with a woman, my apartment in Ukraine had one and it was definitely well used, as was the nice couch.

Cellphone?? Hell NO!!

 

Nice cabinet bandit. It reminds me of the old oak ice chest for some reason.

Come to think of it, a fire place might "set the mood" a little if you know what I mean. That's it, building it tomorrow.

I don't mind hanging rock, but muddying is for the birds.

I am with you on that. Hire the neighbors friend to come do it and be finished with way better results.
