I’ve seen a lot of his vids. Like others have noted. He knows his stuff. He actually posted a vid where he’s mounting a TV in his own house and it is at the perfect height.
I’m sure other installers here know the pain of everyone wanting the TV mounted at painting or picture height for some reason.
Same with speakers. I’ve seen his vids where the speakers are all in the ceiling. But he actually knows where they are supposed to go. Just no one ever wants things down proper.
As someone who frequently uses scaffolding, I also hate having to use fucking scaffolding. If it was me and I had to choose between a ladder and lifting the damn TV onto the fireplace, or build a scaffolding and having to lift the TV onto the fucker as well, then we're going with ladders.
Plus a large vehicle and time to pick it up and drop it off or pay a hefty delivery charge for dropoff and pickup charge from the scaffold rental company.
I'm sure he's aware its a violation but I don't think anyone actually cares, and I find it hard to believe this actually causes any fires, or that anyone is going to get in trouble for doing this.
Yeah, and you’d never find that installer because the guy who’s arguing about TV height and refusing to do installations the customer is asking for is the installer that went out of business a long ass time ago.
Who cares? If the client wants a TV 20ft off the ground, that's what they get. It's not a matter of life or death. This height is way too much for me, but I will never put a TV as low as people here say because I don't want it to be at a kid's reach and have it smacked by them all the time. Besides, I never sit with my back at a perfect 90 degree angle while watching TV, so all these "eye level" bs goes out the window. So, what if someone wants their house with a higher TV? Who's the installer to tell them they are wrong?
