Felling the beast...

Hello again peeps.. Been a long time I know!
Going to try and resurrect the blog - internet connection is getting mildly better at home which makes things easier but mostly I just need to not be so lazy!

These are the before and afters for the change of TV for Mum. Was a fun little project.
 

Before. Much clutter had been removed which made it look good - but no normal sized (in this day and age) TV is going to fit in that wooden monster... so it had to GO!

Stuff gone

Oooh round the back of the beast with the panel off for access to the over engineered joints.

You could have built a house on top of this unit there were so many screws, joints and supports.  It was only meant to hold a few books and pictures right?

All the bits.

The "I hope you know what you're doing look" now there is a massive mess and no TV

Bravely cutting it into bits with a jigsaw and putting it all to the car before getting the new equipment installed and working - every confidence in Mr Samsung and Brandson

The "are you sure you're sure" moment.

Dropping of Mr Toshiba TV with his mates at the tip before saying bye bye.

Just because I blog (occasionally), not because I'm a weirdo. This is the way the tip looks now.  All very high tech.  Drive up the roadway around the back of the blue skips to drop your stuff in to be recycled.  All very strict.

Also very strict is the "no pictures" rule... I got chased off the premises by a man in a high vis jacket and a hard hat - apparently it was more that his job was worth to let me take a picture... good job he didnt know Id been snapping the whole way round then!  Also in this pic is the end of the beast... bottom of the shot.

New TV working, check; Chinese take away, check; champagne, gin, feet up, check.  Yep I'm sure.
