I didn’t think it made sense to spend $75 to hang a $200 TV that weighs less than 10 pounds so I made my own.

With some .090 Aluminum left over from the Chimney Cap project, I made a square plate and drilled it with 4 – 1/4″ holes and a teardrop shape (slightly above center) to hang it.

After it was on the wall, I found I need to get a 90° coax connector.  Another thought I had was to make a wood frame to surround the TV and hide the wires and the gap between the wall and the TV.

After replacing the siding, windows, roof, doors, and every part of the exterior requiring maintenance, the only part left was the trim around the Garage Door. After picking up about $100 worth of Azek trim boards from LenCo, I made custom trim pieces.

Instead of using the standard rubber or vinyl trim to seal the door, I cut a groove in the Azek to hold 6 foot long sections of brush.  This seals just as good but does not stick to the door and is not affected by the cold.
