The wall and old case work were removed and the new wall was framed.  You can see the recessed area for the TV has been framed and the MIT HDMI cable was placed. Back boxes for the B&W Bowers & Wilkins Sig 8NT  were places and installed and the MIT speaker wire for the 3 front speakers was installed.  We also cut the whole and wired to the subwoofer location. That back box will be installed next week
