It came! It came!

The process was, of course, far more painful than expected. Primarily because we have a corner armoire cabinet entertainment center. If there is anything more difficult to deal with, I can’t say what it is.

View the insanity behind the cut.

I had to lower the shelf of the cabinet because the new receiver is much bigger, while Michael was… I don’t know what he was doing, but he sounded busy.

The mess is starting to creep away from the cabinet.

Cabinet pulled out of the corner…

Stereo equipment is now strewn on the living room floor, on the sofa, and even into the kitchen.

(I’ll leave the comments to your imagination.)

Here’s where we are now. I’m going to hook up the two older speakers tomorrow. Yes, I know it’s a crappy placement for the speakers, but 1) the living room is really small 2) Grandmom doesn’t like the speakers near her chair (other end of the book cases) so this is what we got right now for the two newer speakers. I’m trying to figure something else out, but it doesn’t look good.

And the new remote? Are you *kidding* me? It’s the size of a baseball bat. Who needs a remote this large? I put it in the same place every time! I won’t lose it I swear!
