Nice message, but the thought of the existence of a competitive scene of contractors specializing in mounting TVs is hilarious. Also, that mounting plate is crooked af.

He didn't say he was any good, just better

My workplace has been going through some remodeling and I've been spending time shooting the breeze with the electricians especially, and they will spend countless hours giving their opinions on the work of the previous contractors!

The type of conduit used vs what they would have run, the number of cuts and fittings used, etc. They tell me about going into the local Walmart and judging the wire runs there. I have no doubt the residential ones are judging people's TV installs when they're in someone's house! 😆

It seems like healthy fun though, I've never seen anyone actually say anything real negative. Now when they mention the carpenters paying no mind to how the electrical will need to go, then that's where it gets dirty!

I work for an internet/phone company and… well, I try not to do this. Like, I kinda worry it comes off as unprofessional, ya know? But sometimes, you just see some shit. Like, I need the person who owns the house to understand that yes, the person who wired your house is a moron because no, wirenuts are not an acceptable way to splice cat5e ethernet runs.

I love some of these older, circa 1950s home where everyone came back from the war and decided that since they could handle Germany that they could handle building a house between them and all their brothers.

I admire their spirit at least, if perhaps not their electrical skills!

Oh. I’m sure electricians get to see some real sketchy shit. Some old two pair phone wires spliced in a shitty way might suck, but at least it’s not gonna start a fire or kill somebody… probably.

Sometimes when im feeling passive aggressive I look at that subreddit

Audio/video contractors are absolutely a thing. It involves a lot of TV mounting, but there's usually a lot more behind the scenes.
