After talking about it, we finally spent a BSWOM on a remodel of the window surrounds and more. We got the bedroom installed just a few minutes ago. Now we have window sills.

More pictures to follow of the kitchen garage, fireplace and disappearing TV

New. Old

TV and fireplace are in tonight, just some minor touches and wiring. The outlet behind the pass seat is not on the inverter circuit so we will have to figure out how to get power there if we want to run the the fireplace and tv on the inverter.

Fireplace is LED along with the TV so we won't consume much power.

Very nice. I have considered removing my chair and putting in a TV like you have done.

Thank you all. Patty really is enjoying it, she says it looks more like a home now.

I will finish this weekend running the cable to the tv. Thankfully I found the cabling schematic

Care to share that cabling schematic?

I'm dreading opening the can of worms in mine...
