Moving The TV Console: A project

The TV console in our room is located on the right hand side of the living room. The L-shaped sofa is located on the left. The Wife had wanted to swap the location of these 2 for the longest time. I was reluctant to do it because it is not easy to locate a contractor to do this. There is nothing in it for them to do such a 'corrective' maintenance. I asked my previous designer and he advised that it is a simple job, which I can do. I must admit that even though I am keen at doing-it-yourself around the flat but the TV console consists of electrical cabling of which I am not ready to tackle. At the same time, I cannot remember if the console is attached to the wall.

Eventually, I came across a neighbour of mine who does this type of project.. He is the owner of Mr. Fixit Singapore. I told him my problem, he dropped by to take a look and agreed to it.

Here are the photos. 

The tv console, on the right of the living room. All items

removed.

The L-shape sofa, on the left of the living room.

There is a recessed wall that we want to make use by 

placing the TV console in here.

Apparently, the TV console consists of 2 parts, the base and 

the console itself. This is the base at its new location.

It fits nicely within the recessed wall.

And in between the existing 2 power points.

The TV console, after it is taken off. The hole at the back 

of the console was the location of the 4 power socket. You

can see the various casing at console countertop.

Rerouting the electrical wire, after the TV console has been 

removed.

This is the internet cable that goes through the party wall to the 

study next door. Thank goodness the previous owner did this 

hole.

The trunking is for electrical wires and internel cable. The TV 

point on the right is redundant. The fibrenet is on the left. 

The stains from the TV console location can be seen as well as 

the wall studs.

The right hand electrical power point, all done up.

Fixing up the power socket.

Electrical socket almost ready.

All done up. The wall studs are removed. All holes are patched up.

Just a coat of paint. The black cable is for the cable tv. It is routed

directly to the TV, which is now located on the opposite wall.

The black tv cable goes through the false flooring.

When I raised my balcony flooring by putting in the false

flooring, I made allowance for cables and wires to run through 

its side. You can see the cable coming out on the top left hand 

corner of this picture

Out it goes to the back of the TV console. 

The new location of the TV console. All fixed up.

The black TV cable can be seen. The original length was too short

but the boys from Mr. Fixit had a much longer spare.

After a nice coat of paint. All markings and stains gone.

Another view.

Thank goodness for Mr. Fixit for a job well done. Their rates are quite reasonable. Overall, I would recommend them for any jobs you might have. I would definitely engage them again.
