Yesterday, some highschool buddies and I went hiking at Castlewood Canyon in Franktown CO. It's a hidden gem out in the plans southeast of CastleRock CO.

We had to cross the stream a few times.
Here we are at the end of the trail.
The TV is installed in what may be its final resting spot. There is only about 1/2" clearance all the way around it.
Today I installed the last glass shelf and moved all our electronic components into the media cabinet. It is really starting to come together.
Joe M. should be coming out sometime to install the doors for the media cabinet. After that is done, then I can start on the front for the bottom drawer.
The drawer pulls still have to be installed too.
The media cabinet I've been working on has three tall drawers. There is about a 1/4" gap between them, not enough for little or big fingers to be able to open them easily.
We decided on using a recessed drawer pull, but we couldn't find one we both liked, so we went custom. One of the guys at the 23rd ave Sculpture Studio, John "Wild" Mann, created some drawer pulls for us based off of sketch I made.
I installed the 3/8" thick glass shelving in the media cabinet today. I have one more to do, but I need to have the shelf trimmed so it will fit nicely.
Over the past year, with my Dad's help, I've been building an entertainment cabinet. We purchased plywood from Austin Hardwoods in April 2011 and started construction. We made great progress over a week or so getting the general structure cut and built. Over the last 10 months I've been putting together the tall drawers, ironing on the edging to hide the plywood ends, and putting the finishing clear coat on everything. Just recently I've started installation.
Here are some pictures.
