    A $5000 electric fireplace?? That's insanity.

    I’ve spent so many hours in front of a TV growing up.
    I’m 46 now and find myself watching more RUclips content than TV content.
    That being said, TVs have their place. We typically watch 2 hours max of TV each night, usually from 8-10.

    Great job! I just finished building a fireplace as well, and even though I haven't owned a TV for more than 10 years, I still roughed in the wires and cables just in case the next buyer wants a TV.

    Love the outtakes at the end! It gives more story to the projects and a glimpse into your busy world 🙂
    Very impressive! Love the drive and independence you hold! Most careers have a team and you do this alone (sometimes with paid or safety help). Don’t let others discourage you and don’t let others put their expectations on you. Also, you are your biggest critic, always.
    Your work inspires me and my friends to try new things. Keep doing what you enjoy 😊

    What a way to had dimension and character to your all’s room and space! Great job. On the TV question: suggest finding another place your home for the TV. TVs above the fireplace look like don’t look good. However to each they’re own. One suggestion is gat some speakers (perhaps even small built-ins for some nice music to go with those amazing dancing flames. May have to put one of those fire places in our outdoor living spaces by the pool.

      Shiplap is cute but not my vi e either. I'm about to start my DIY fireplace wall and not sure how it will be finished but it won't be shiplap, was thinking stone.

    We bought a house with a large fireplace with television hookups above the fireplace. The television ended up being too high to watch comfortably. We hung a mirror there instead and moved the television elsewhere. We now have moved and I miss having that large fireplace, even though we rarely used it because it's too hot where we live. I'm looking to build an electric fireplace in my living room, the electric fireplaces have a no-heat setting. That is nice, no more melted chocolate in our Christmas stockings.
