Making Progress....Like Molasses Running Uphill


My cables for my T.V. came today. I've never been so excited about wires with special ends on them. I know...it's kind of sad. I proceeded to run them through my wall without a problem other than I soon realized that these aren't nice supple, bendable cables. These cables don't say, "Oh, you'd like a 90-degree bend here to run to the port on your T.V. without enough stress to break your drywall, I'd be happy to do that." No...they say, "Go ahead...try to bend me, sucker!!!"

So, I just ordered 2 additional wires/port savers. They are 8 inches long and a smaller gauge of wire designed specifically to make 90-degree bends and run from the hdmi ports on the backs of equipment to the wiring that runs down the inside of walls.

Initially, I hated to have to wait for more wires out of fear my T.V. would arrive and I wouldn't be able to hook it up. But have no fear....It appears that Amazon strapped my T.V. to the back of 2 diseased turtles in Pennsylvania and sent them on their way to Utah. I keep "tracking" the shipment of my T.V., and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast.
