What do you guys think of the end result? Was this a good idea or not? Also, my next project should be putting doors on my closet. It looks so bad lol.
Good job short boy!! You need the ladder to get to your top shelf stuff? 🎉 need to overvolt that motor tho it’s sloooooo Seriously tho, you’re handy af, good job, that bedroom light needs some rethink, door or curtains on the closet 👍
I'm fully on board with the mini gaming/media pc mounted up there. I definitely also wanna see you run "skylight clouds" youtube video on the panel while its stowed away... would make a cool short
This might sound silly but it's good to see someone with a very good job that is obviously financially very stable happily on his knees in the attic getting their hands dirty, especially when that person acknowledges there not a very _handy_ person, it's just good to see. kudos
I try to be handy. I built some shelves and stuff recently. Unfortunately, getting on my knees is very scary since I wrecked a scooter and shattered my patella...
@BitWit @10:06 in the video, there's clearly already a metal junction box. Depending on what that is powering, you might be able to wire into that if you covered the ROMEX in metal sheathing (like the rest of the wires going into that junction box) and tie into it and be completely within code. Just use appropriate sized wire nuts to join black to black, white to white and copper to copper (or green) depending on what's pulled into that box.
There probably also is one very near the outlet in the ceiling, as he shows there is a light. Depends if the junction box is switch only or constant powered, but certainly would be worth to check out.
I thought the exact same thing. But I think it's rock wool so it's pretty safe and a non-irritant. Although in an attic the chances of finding something nasty especially when there's open holes to a garage… Yeah I'd be wearing gloves.
People told me I would have to tear up my ceiling to put up a ceiling fan, but an elderly neighbor told me how to examine the existing outlet box. That neighbor saved me a lot of time and money.
@@niuchajianfa6222 Not when you are replacing an existing fixture. The outlet is already there. I was just taking down a lamp and putting up a fan. The part relevant to the video is tearing up the ceiling to make sure the mount is properly attached to the joists. My house was already properly equipped.
I'm about a minute in and I have a simple solution to finding the joists that doesnt require going into the attic. Next time just use a strong magnet and slide it along your ceiling. When it goes over one of the drywall screws you will feel it pull and you know that there is a joist there. A stud finder works well too.
Excellent Kyle! I didn't know that kind of tv mounts existed! I have the same problem in my bedroom with the closet on the front Thanks for the idea! I hope to find something like that in my country
*Personally* as well as the 3in shift towards the joist, I'd have gone overkill for something roof-mounted, and added some more joist-equivalent beams to either side "thickening" the roof joist, so that every screw or bolt from the TV mount was being anchored into wood I just don't trust drywall
Totally DIY stuff when you test a newly installed electrical line with a phone charger rather than a multimeter...hahaha But honestly, that setup is super cool! You did great Kyle!
All the comments giving honest well-intentioned advice is weirdly wholesome. Also, love these kind of videos and format, good fun to watch and learned a few things!
I love the video that is playing on your Bravia TV once it is installed on the ceiling mount. I think that bird is so rad and unique with it's little ballet dance it does to attract it's plain jane mate. Not to mention it's little atenna fuzz balls it has on it's head. Great video
As someone who is slightly shorter than a standard doorframe, you'd think I don't have to watch out, but be warned: One day you have a bit of a spring in your step because you're excited about something, the next moment you're on the floor holding your head. Be careful with that thing!
I've been watching your channel for years and this video is such perfect timing. I was literally about to buy this same wall mount for the wall in my room that sit at a 45° angle.
Even if it’s just temporary… I would have made the wire getting out from the bottom in case of moisture or even water getting in and starting a short circuit.
About stripping screws on electrical outlets etc. Dont use philips head. You CAN and people often do because philips and flat head screwdrivers are common in every house. But the screws on them are for ECX bits. Now... no one usually has those, but for a suitable replacement that will have a far lesser chance to strip than a Phillips, you can use a Robertson bit. If you have a drill/driver pack laying around, you will have this bit. Its the one with the square head.
at first i thought you did all that work at the beginning (pilot holes, etc...) because you needed the mount exactly in the spot you chose. if you were ok with just a few inches to the left or right .... could have used a stud finder to find the ceiling joists before making pilot holed and doing all that extra work and making holes... good video and enjoyed the content.
Ever hear of a stud finder? Finds the stud before you start drilling! 😂😂 I would have just drilled the mount to work with 300x200, but that was a good reason to go bigger anyways!
Why did you run the romex all the way to the garage? Just go down through the header into the nearest wall I. Your bedroom with an outlet on it and tag into that outlet.
I like the ceiling mount, and may run the idea by the wife. We never really had a TV in the bedroom, but she has mentioned it in the past. Side note, conduit is the channel, or tube the wires go in. The actual wire, is commonly referred to as Romex. Although Romex is a brand, it has become the general name, like Kleenex, etc... **The more you know** haha, have a great day!
12:50: I'm not planning to game in my room..... as a large bottle of lotion sits next to your bed... we know what this TV is going to be use for. Wink wink nudge nudge, say no more say no more.
6:48 JESUS CHRIST KYLE, DON'T DO THAT, you straight up pointed your razer straight into your palm! That's a sure-fire way to unintentionally cut yourself bad! 😱
That amplifier you have plugged into your garage outlet has a splitter on it that could definitely cause some imedence on your internet service. Id swap that for a 3db attenuator.
2 words, ceiling monolith. To quickly fix the outlet hole cut a piece of white construction paper or paperboard just a little bigger than the vanity plate.
Fun guy Kyle just wanted a reason to buy a new (mostly bigger) to mount and the mount it self not being visible ;) Great video as always love your channel when you keep everything clear but still not to advanced to understand! :D
If you end up running that romex on the wall in the garage area instead of in-wall. You must run it inside of schedule 80 electrical PVC pipe to protect from impacts. You might be able to use schedule 40 if your jursidiction allows. A basic cable raceway won't protect the cable.
Late to the party on this, but you could also put some LEDs along the backside of the TV for extra ambient lighting so you're not just sitting in the dark when watching stuff.
The bedroom in my last apartment wasn't suited to put a TV anywhere so I got a projector, put it at the foot of the bed and had it display on the ceiling. It was the equivalent of an 80" screen. I kind of miss it.
For all the heartache of ceiling mounting your TV, you could've gone with a smart projector and mount the projector screen by your closet and get the same result with less wiring.
Honestly, I would've just lined the bottom holes on the mount and drilled two new holes in the mount for the top screws - the overhanging upper section is still behind the TV, and much quicker/cheaper. Not sure what the adjustment is on the hanging section for height is, so maybe that wasn't an option? (though hard to argue having an excuse to upgrade!)
I want one. You should get a couple of long (maybe active?) HDMI cables and run them through the attic/wall over next to that desk with a cable entry device so that you can plug in the computer or a console or another video source.
Every contractor and inspector is screaming into their hands right now. Haha. Please, please if you're going to do any electrical work, consult someone who does it for a living to ensure it is done properly. I am really hoping you cut out properly tying the wire down in the attic. Love the idea though and have thought of doing something similar in my home.
6:25 Coaxial amplifier? Better not be used for internet modem as most companies are realigning frequencies such as mid splits or having an OFDMA upstream channels. Those amplifiers will not support said frequencies and will have troubles fully locking on to them causing T3 timeouts.
just me or was anyone hoping that in the middle of his outro we could see the tv fall from the ceiling and crash to the floor? oh just me? damnit....oh well....woulda made a great ending....
Awsome result.. now im no expert but it does look like there is something growing on your roofs wooden thingys.. in my eyes it looks like "mould/fungus" it might just be from the time the insolation was spred out... donno... but if it is "mould/fungus" u need to get dealt with, its very bad for ur health....... Anyway awsome video.. and i hope im wrong about the "mould/fungus" thing
The other way to connect your electrical is to find a junction box (j-box) inside the attic (crawling space) rather than running the cable all the way to the existing outlet to the garage.
LOL! That Sony TV is what we just got. It's nice! It upscales Blu-Ray really nice! Tron Legacy looks AWESOME on it. Ours is only 60Hz but man, it still looks awesome.
In terms of connecting it to the socket in the garage, I would have just bought a standard power cord and chopped the plug off and wired it to the lead (of course using the second socket)
kyle doing electrical work nicely done, even crimped the wires right way so you can put screws in correctly. BTW they make over size covers to cover your drywall oopsie lol
@@boomtatortot5431 I'm a first year, and I'm convinced this video is gonna be in my nightmares. Granted, he's never done electrical work, so there's no reason he should know already how to do it, and paying someone to come out is pretty expensive, but even just a few videos could show him how to run some flex and keep things in the j-boxes. That last wire with a cover plate _squashing it to the wall_ is bound to be a problem.
@@ExperiMentalDon Really? What problems would that plastic wall cover will cause to that Romex insulated wire in his garage? The only issue is that he didn't need to run that Romex all the way the the garage when there was a junction box for him to use in the attic for his bedroom.
@@spankbuda5760 Romex isn't suitable for outdoor use, so using it in a garage can be sketchy because of the potential moisture exposure. Also, if a squirrel, cat, raccoon, etc decided it looked tasty, there's no conduit protecting it from them. As far as the cover plate, those can be kind of sharp, and having it that way means there's already pressure on the wire, so if it gets bumped into enough times, it could cut through the wire. There are _many_ things that could go _seriously_ wrong here.
Nice video, thanks! One question: Did you consider repositioning your bed 90 degrees to one of the other (mostly blank) walls and mounting the TV on the opposing wall?
home upgrades when tech-related are so satisfying. but there's no kitchen tech in the world that ever woes me. I mean you got people buying 300$ toasters. now if they made something that makes waffles for you. I'd drop bank for that.
Concerning the speed it seems like they used a really underpowered motor with a lot of gearing to generate enough power to move the screen. Not that speed is a major concern but I am interested to hearing about the longevity.
I don't think I'd be willing to trust 4(?) screws into wood with the weight (& expense) of a 55" TV. I would have used those... not sure what they're called, but it's like a metal strap that goes over the ceiling joist in a U shape, & then the ends splay out at 90⁰ flush against the ceiling. If you then have some nice big nuts & washers on the loft side of the bracket thing, & then put some decently sturdy bolts through from the bedroom side of the mounting plate into the nuts above the bracket in the loft you'd have a stronger connection than what you've got screwing into wood. Some people might think my approach is a bit overkill, but what's better: spending a little extra for something substantially more sturdy, or saving a few bucks & wondering if the next earthquake or big storm (so glad I don't live on that side of the pond) that shakes the house will end up with the TV on the floor?
Kyle: do u know what this means? Me: ah yes a trip to B---Buy to buy a new compatible mount. Kyle: *oh ChaosS you poor innocent naive child. Me: oh yes. of course! how could i have been so stupid! that's obviously the logical answer!
