My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Cable routing

10 years ago

My hdmi cable sticks out from side of tv. Don't like it. I have some 90 deg adapters but they are vertical rather than horizontal. Anyway to tuck cable in better?

    My TV has those horizontal ports too and I just plug in the HDMI cable and it has enough bend in it to go vertical before it sticks out the side of the TV. Maybe your HDMI cable has a bigger 'head' on it, so it can't bend as soon?

    The horizontal ports are easier to plug things into. It's easier to look in the side of your TV as opposed to getting underneath it and craning your neck around and attempting to plug things in the upward direction. Especially if it's mounted on the wall above a fireplace or something.
