maybe i'll try posting pick later when i'm done done but the kids had a long weekend for presidents day/conferences so i kicked them out of the house last weekend to work on the house.

so back in like october i bought a 65" tv.   i wanted to mount it on the wall but the place i wanted to mount it i had no studs to attach to.  i decided the tv was too heavy to risk mounting it only via drywall.   so starting on saturday i:
1. took down part of the wall
2. added a wall block for my tv to mount to.
3. wired an outlet to a location behind the TV
4. made my own solution for hiding the HDMI cables behind the wall
  - yeah, don't yell at me but i'm mounting the tv over the fireplace.  so i couldn't just run the wires down.  i had to run it over though 2 studs and then down.
5. pull up 2 ethernet ports up from the basement
6. created 4 custom curtain rods
   - the window in the room with the TV is 16" wide and you can't buy anything that big from amazon or whatever
   - you can buy custom built rods but they were stupidly expensive.  like $2,000
   - once i was building 1 curtain rod i decided being 3 more was affectively "free" so i'm refreshing a few other windows even though they aren't that big

i did a few other smaller projects too but nothing that notable.  the biggest of which is last fall my daughter had a tantrum and pulled her curtains off the wall.  as punishment i told her i wouldn't fix it so for the last 6 months she just hasn't had curtains and a big hole in the drywall.   i decided 6 months was long enough and fixed her room.


anyways.   excited for this to finally be done.   along side the tv i bought a ps5 pro and i still haven't taken it out of the box.  i just couldn't fit it in the room with janky solution i jimmied up have the tv in the room unmounted.
