| may i put an hdtv over a fireplace? I've got better idea:It's OK to me to hang it above the fireplace if you're not going to use it as a fireplace. Instead you could use it as component compartment.But MAKE SURE that EVERYBODY knows that this isn't a fire place anymore!!!!!!! | |
| Optimum seats for a concert? It is quite difficult to determine which seats are the best if you don't know the concert hall. In my case I know a several theatres with excellent acoustics and it's not even necessary to be in the middle. My personal like is when I can see the f... | |
