Home Theatre Pre-wiring by Rod

Pre-wiring was completed last week and as promised here is the seperate post..
gr8 work done by Rod (& Matt). We are quite happy with all the wiring and excited about all the new gear that will be installed after we move in.

The only sad thing on the day (other than fixing the sound insulation) was Rod jumping off a wobbling ladder and landing his foot on the half brick where he almost dislocated his ankle. Hi ankle bone almost came off but lucky that he could pull it back in place before the ambos came. I am sure that would have been like hell...I am glad that it was not a serious accident....and it didn't happen at my place...also he has to come back to finish my part-2 :)

GET WELL SOON ROD.
