I finished my office refresh

[Certificate of Excellence]

I finally finished my downstairs office refresh. I painted, tore out the old 70s carpet LOL installed a laminate floor and installed a gang box for and hung my tv on the wall.

Now I have to reinstall my shelving and put everything back in there which is not easy because I have a lot of junk LOL. But I am both relieved that it is done and happy with how it turned out.

Next on the honey list; do the same thing to the guest bedroom across the hall. Oh well, at least I have enough paint and three cases of laminate pergo flooring to get started with.

I may install a ceiling fan in that room at some point. It would be pretty easy running 110 from the tv gang box to a cfr box. I’d only have to go through one joist I think. Oh well, a project for another day

I like the cabinet of NES cartridges!

LOL it was the one thing I opted to keep attached to the wall and paint around lol but yeah, there’s my entire childhood NES, SNES, Genesis, Atari2600 and some c64 carts in there as well as random winbox, apple software.

if anyone took it off, there would be a big square of the old dingy color lol. No worries though as I still have 3gallons of a 5gal bucket of candlelight beige left that I used+ the paint code so anyone can make it should a future purchaser need it (I have made a bible of sorts of all the weird idiosyncrasies that this old house has + color choices/codes etc. the electric panel box that was NOT labeled grrr . What a pain remapping what all those dang switches did . Anyways future owner will benefit from this bible ( who’s kidding - me too lol).

That TV is 66 pounds which is so heavy! I had to buy an extra heavy duty two stud tv mount because I need all that I/o in the back to connect all my retro gaming boxes. The i/o is pretty awesome with stuff modern flatscreens just don’t have. This old thick boy Phillips has rca/composite/coax/usb/hdmi/s-video/digital audio, etc. and lots of it both rear facing and side facing. I’d have replaced it years ago if it weren’t for the wonderful and convenient I/o situation it has going on. I bought it in 2009 and have been lugging it around since. I don’t think they make them like that anymore sadly.
