Wishing for a quake

This weekend was momentous, not because of the marathon on Sunday, but because we got the TV mounted on the wall on Saturday. With help from back east regarding the location of studs in the walls when a fireplace is in play, we were able to hang it. Chris and I had decided to wait till Adam showed up so I'd have someone to help. What I forgot, was that Adam's best help on these sorts of things, is from the couch. Nothing like looking over and saying "what do you think, seem like there's a stud there?" and getting in response "I don't know man, I'm not good at this stuff." Now that's reassuring! Either way, that thing is up on the wall and I'm betting nothing is going to take it down. That's why I'm waiting for our next quake, I figure if it can withstand the Earth shaking, it probably won't fall.

Going up

Funny thing about the last picture, if you look close enough, you can see the streaks in one of the finest ceiling paint jobs ever. Looks like we need a 2nd coat up there, guess who is responsible for this?
