Doug and I have been wanting to get a big TV for the living room for ages. The house came with a beautiful built-in cabinet that had a slot for a TV -- but not for a modern wide-screen TV. People with built-in cabinets everywhere are having this problem, of course, since the old cabinets are not compatible with current TVs.
So we knew we were going to have to hire a carpenter to come out and tear out our cabinet and rebuild it, and we just kept putting that off. It was something we were going to do before the baby came, thinking that we'd be spending a lot more time at home. We decided to go ahead and get it done, and it's AWESOME!!
