Hanging Around WIth New TV

Pleep and Delete had a big morning. First they had to discuss the Daytona Beach Cubs and what they learned that might help the Monkeybutters. Not much came of that discussion. Then the talk turned to discussion of hanging the new LG 46" tv in the living room. Pleep wanted to make certain it was hung high enough and properly. They finally ended up texting Chris Carnicelli to ask him to get advice from Papa Carnicelli. Pleep remembered talking with Papa C from Nebraska Furniture Mart and was impressed with his ability to measure everything, especially distances and heights for proper tv viewing.

While Pleep and Delete were deep in discussions, Peggy & Ed snuck in a bit of beach time, including a 4 mile jaunt. The install crew showed up and got to work. Pleep insisted the tv be mounted a couple of inches above his head while he was sitting on the chest. The chest includes a wine rack on the lower shelf and Pleep felt it was important to keep the wine far away from any heat generated by the tv. He supervised the entire effort including Ed's hoovering up of the dust. The install crew did a great job running the cables inside the wall and allowing for both HDMI or regular coax cable hookups.

When all the tv work was complete, Pleep took charge of the remote and made himself comfortable in the "Harry" chair. He named the living room chair the Harry chair because it is made with Sunbrella fabric so should hold up well when Harry Parker and others visit. Peggy & Ed had to head to Walmart to cocontinue buying items for the condo and helping the Daytona Beach economy. Pleep thought it was a good idea to follow Mike Power's advice and leave the tv on while everyone was out. That way, when everyone returns home as long as the tv can be heard when you open the door, you know it is still likely on the wall.
