I made MAJOR progress on the living room today. Whew.
Put the carpet down. It’s amazing. The real huge thing, though, was just getting everything connected again in the TV area. Sooooo mmmaannyyyy cables and devices to get set up, jesus. It took HOURS. Literally.
Part of that is because I wanted to label everything as I went, so I know what cords are connected to what devices…given that there are so freaking many of them…and I’m glad I did. It’s super organized back there. Kind of. The cables themselves are a hidden mess, but they’re all labeled at least. And, everything works! Oh, except for the Switch. I didn’t test that. But, I bet it works.
Everything is connected via ethernet, now, which for some reason just makes me so fucking happy. SO. FUCKING. HAPPY. Not that our WiFi isn’t amazing, because it is…but just knowing that it’s all directly wired now just makes me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside.
I’m not sure we have the spacing figured out just yet. We centered the TV, rug and couch based on the size of this opening to the living room…but I’m just not quite sure that was the right decision. We’ll have to see when all the rest of the furniture is placed…and I think the couch might be too far away from the TV right now; it might actually do best to push it in a bit…but not major changes. Minor adjustments. Tweaks. The bones are all there.
The bookcases are up, too, although they’re not anchored to the wall just yet. I have a power cable to run before we do that. Tomorrow. That’s the goal to do tomorrow. Run that cable, get the lights set up and anchor those bad boys to the wall so that we can fill them up with what’s in the majority of the rest of our boxes.
Liz worked hard on the kitchen tonight, getting everything all dialed in the way we want and she was able to get the last of the kitchen boxes opened and put away. I…think (?)…maybe (?) by tomorrow…we might just have this last pile of shit in the middle of our walkway/space between the kitchen and the living room to deal with. Oh…and the closet. Forgot about that. But, that will be about it.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.
