home theater

I will be the first to say that I am completely surprised that he could install the entire home theater system and not make any mistakes! I was really thinking it was going to be another version of what happened when he wanted to build some custom built in bookcases. I wouldn't say that it was a complete disaster. In the end, the built in bookcase looks incredible, but it took four complete re-do's! It cost up to four times more than it would have if we hired someone to do it. But, he loves to tinker around the home and believe he is the consummate handyman. So, I will let him have his visions of grandeur.

He first came up with the idea of a home theater a few years ago, but I didn't take him seriously. We did not even have any of the pieces for a home theater at that time. Now, after the few years have gone by, he is ready to start installing. He bought several high end home theater components over the years and has been planning it out since he first mentioned it. I was really very nervous about the whole ordeal. I just imagined him electrocuting himself or burning the house down.

To make sure that he could install the home theater correctly, he took a week off from work. He took his time, read the directions, asked for help when he needed it, and installed an amazing looking, and sounding, home theater. Of course, I had to help a little bit with the finishing touch. He was going to set the large flat screen TV on an antique table we had, but after it was finished thought a wall mount would be better. When he said this, I was working on the laptop and just started looking for a wall mount to finish the home theater. Within a few minutes I was looking at this Universal TV wall mount is for Flat Panel LCD TV's.

I found this TV mount at a website called Online Direct, which is at www.homeonlinedirect.com. I really liked the way that is would swivel for a better angle no matter where you were sitting. I ordered the mount from Online Direct and my husband installed it - again without any problems! - when it arrived. The home theater really looks good. I guess my husband is getting much better at this do it yourself thing he has going. With all the practice he should be!
