In place and level!!

This past weekend got the corner cabinet for the entertainment center pushed in to place and level.




Found the two outlets locations and cut holes for the electrical outlets to come through to the TV cabinet.




In that corner of the family room, we have three different ceiling levels.  The ceiling right in the corner is the shortest, then there is a pipe return, which is built into the ceiling, then beyond that, there is another height of the ceiling.  When building the corner cabinet, we were not sure we could stand it up in the area we needed to, but once we got it pushed back in to the corner, we had plenty of space on top, so we decided to put the electronics for the entertainment center above the TV.  The cabinet up there ended up being 11 inches tall, which is plenty of room for the DVD player, Blue Ray, Satellite box and the sound system receiver.






Started working on the cabinet to the right of the TV.  There is a 21inch knee wall, which is 13 inches deep that I have to build around.  With the electronics on top of the TV, the plan is to put drawers in this cabinet to hold the DVD's.



We are trying to keep the carpet in the family room, so I have cut some of the carpet away and keeping the rest long enough so when we are done, carpet installers can come in and finish the edge of the carpet right in front of the entertainment center.
