Theres a lot of negative comments about Tv heights etc, at the end of the day this is all personal preference. What you cant fault though is the quality of the work and the video presentation so top marks for that, really impressed.

I don’t think they are negative. It’s more to do with tilting your head up to watch the tv. My comment was bottom of tv to your eyeline or top of head. That has always been the correct placement within AV installations. Nothing to do with preference always to do with head position and correct ergonomics. A DIY installer would place it anywhere

Loved the video. My husband built our TV wall into the chimney breast with my supervision of course. A lintel at the top and then the stud work like yourself. I much preferred watching you do it

Loving the Videos Cameron!! Keep up the good work! Great tips throughout. All the best, Darren

Looks class that mate. There's a few videos already about but you break it all down so well so here's my suggestions for content id like to see: Undercabinet lighting (kitchen), laying patio, Outdoor lights(pillar ones, not just on exterior of house wall).

Always impressed by how easy you make things look. I'd like to watch another one of your videos about how to add a socket plug in a room where there is few that are not easily accessible.

Excellent job here, I’ve learnt a lot in this single video, by the way did you used just one type of timber ( 45mm * 125mm) throughout ?

Looks great, well done. It’s got me planning my own. Really good content on your channel.

Awesome! Thank you!

Looks great. The new thing is large TV's, 75",87". I like TV's lower. For me the bottom of the TV is 3-4 ft from the floor for a seating area. Great work. I did learn alot.

tip - see how you like looking at various parts of the wall for extended periods of time before you decide how high to put the tele. my neck much prefers it about level with my eyes when sat on the sofa. also think about whether a corner of a room is not a better place to put it. more seats might get a good viewing angle in a corner.

Happy to be subscribing to this channel. I need to get some stuff done during my free time.

Great video and I will definitely using this as a guide when attempting myself. One thing I want to ask is did you take into account the thickness of the plasterboard when working out your measurements?

Love to see you make simple alcove units and shelving love your videos

Superb job! You made it look very easy. Love those LED's. Thanks for making this video.

This looks great and the use of pipes in that way was really good, a great way to do it. Having used LEDs for years the main concern that I would have is that of maintenance - the LED drivers *will* fail at some point and boxing them into the unit itself will make repairing or replacing them incredibly annoying and messy. The LED strips will likely fail too, but hopefully these should be easier to replace (issues of misbalanced strips aside).

great video.. very informative. Thanks

Excellent job Cam. Love the future proofing idea with the pipes as well. I recently chased out and spurred a socket to go behind my TV (I finally had enough of the unsightly black cable running down the wall to the main socket). Lovely wire-free wall for a while but then purchased a sound bar and now have the ugly wire connecting the tv to soundbar on show. With more foresight I would fitted something like your pipes when I had the wall chased out earlier but instead I now have to get cutting into the plaster and brickwork again. Oh well! Couple of queries/observations - might it have been easier to do single vertical timbers first then the horizontals and then the second vertical timbers so that you could screw at 90degrees into the horizontals if that makes sense? And for the plastering - I’ve done a bit of tape and jointing in my time but never full skimming. Would a job like that lend itself to tape and joint? Thanks.

@TheDIYGuy1

9 ай бұрын

Hey thanks for the feedback. Agree there maybe a better way to screw the whole thing together(I didn’t put a huge amount of thought into that). I don’t think tape and joint is a great idea just because of the amount of tapered edge joints you would need.

A good job done there. Depending on what electrical appliances you are installing, TV, sound bar, sky box etc you should always consider that the appliances will create heat, especially the TV. Make sure there is enough space around the appliances so heat can escape and cooler air can circulate.

Yeah - very important to understand the properties of any speaker before recessing the installation - especially if it's an Atmos soundbar (which the Playbar isn't of course)

That cable management is spot on, I'd did this is my last house on the chimney breast. bringing the aerial from the roof and electrical cabling from the sides. It also makes the system future proof. One thing i would have done a little different would be to make the edging which surrounds the tv out of some nice oak framing, which could be hinged inwards, this could allow to install a bigger tv at a later date, if you have a samsung oled tv, you can set it to ambient and it displays a picture just like a piece of art on the wall.
