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.

TV vs. fireplace?

10 years ago

Does anyone have a better solution for TV placement than high above a fireplace when you only have room for both on the same wall? My architect is suggesting a low horizontal fireplace but still I feel we will be cranking our neck to look up vs. the natural eye level sight line.
