Project to mount tv over the fireplace. 50+ year old brick, tv was too large to sit on the mantle, client wanted all cables hidden
Starting point - Client had recently moved in. Really did not want to drill into 50+ year old brick.
Got creative and made "studs". Then secured those to a ceiling joist in the attic and to the wooden mantle.
Client wanted all wires hidden, so everything was run to this setup in the ceiling behind the TV.
All wired up and hidden behind the TV.
Finished with this part of the project. TV is on a full motion mount. More from the same client to come.
easy access media solution for gaming consoles - same client
Client added a shelf to match the right side of the fireplace and wanted an easy way to connect gaming consoles for the kids.
Under the bottom shelf, hidden inside the cabinet are the connections for HDMI, Subwoofer feed, and USB extender.
HDMI comes up to the plate behind the TV, the 2nd HDMI on this plate goes to the surround sound receiver in the other room.
HDMI and USB extension come up behind the cabinet to allow for easy access to connect devices.
Connection is currently being used for a Nintendo Switch, but can be used for anything that uses HDMI.
Adding surround sound and networking for smart tv in a master bedroom - same client
Client already had TV mounted in the master bedroom. Wanted to add small surround sound system.
Cutouts for in-wall speakers, and pass-through box for audio, video, and power.
All lines run up into the attic and down the appropriate wall channel.
Total of 3 network connections, 1 Coax cable, 1 HDMI, 1 audio return line, power extension, and 3 speaker connections.
All connections come out behind the existing furniture from previous pictures.
Finished project. Small subwoofer is on the floor beside the existing furniture.
My personal office setup. I painted and built the tower - not finished with tower yet.
Starting point for a home office.
Burned and sealed 2x8 run across studs to allow flexible mounting options for the dual monitor setup.
Power, video, and USB lines run from under the desk, up the wall, and out just above the 2x8 to connect the monitors.
One monitor mounted, 2nd mount in place, wiring ready to go to the monitors.
