Making Holes in the Wall

Spent part of the day making holes in the wall.

Like this:


This particular hole is a leftover from a previous attempt to conceal cables going to some old-school speakers we no longer have.

There's another hole in the wall behind the cabinet, made in error as I put in some boxes to help run cables from the TV, Xbox and sound bar behind the wall, thus:


Not a real big deal to conceal the cables, but it does look tidier, and tidy in any little corner of the house I can get it in is a good thing.

The error came as I didn't account for needing much longer cables given the way I had set up the concealment boxes. I went to a local thrift store to see if I could find longer cables, but was out of luck. I also thought of going to get new longer cables, but it hit me if I moved the lower box higher on the wall, I wouldn't need the extra length. I could still wish one of the cables had a little more slack in it, but it works. I'll keep looking for longer cables, but buy them at a better time when we're not recovering from Christmas.
