FAIL for not seeking out a fellow stanger to toss the cha-ching to rather than geek squad

Having hung dozens of tv's over fireplaces, as well as on my own fireplace, I am a fan of doing it. I'm not sure geek squad will do this for you. Post pictures of the final product if they do.

I don't meant o hijack your thread but I noticed you have the same walls/ceilings that I do. The wall is beveled into the ceiling (pic 1) making it difficult to paint. How did you paint your walls in that area if you don't mind me asking?

My game room has the same wall to ceiling transition. When I painted it I just measured up the same amount in each corner and snapped a chalk line across the walls to follow while I put up blue tape for the edge.

i've got my 55" lcd mounted above my fireplace, and it was a very simple installation. i have built-ins on each side of my fire place, so that's where my ps3, fios box, etc are, but you can easily mount them elsewhere... there are a few different options to be able to control everything without line of sight.

There will be no isssue's putting a TV over the FP. How hot do you think the wall will get? If it's that hot, the least of your worries are the TV.

Any electrician worth his salt, can drop a lines down the FP chase without a problem.

When i first moved into the house it was already painted like that, but we repainted it the same color to give it a new look.

All i did was run tape over above the tan where the white was and kept painting it tan and tan.. it took a lot of work because sometimes when i took off the paint, it would drag off some of the tape and white spots would show.. There are still some spots that need work.

Well I guess it is a good thing you had that pre-existing line. lol I have only had to do my kitchen as of yet and an 8 foot stretch is a PITA with no guide. Anyways, thanks for your response.

I sure as hell would as they're not providing the service they claimed you were paying for.

There are a few electricians around the board that I have seen post before on threads like these that have done an outlet relocation or installing a new one behind the location of the new TV. Can't remember any of the user names to save my life though, which is par for the course.

LOL @ Best Buy telling you some fucking bullshit like that. Lmao!

i know right.. they gave me a good price on geeksquad coming to my house from the original price.

The only reason i wanted them to do it was that certain thing of them running the power in the wall.

I'll probably stop by bestbuy and get my refund on this.
