New Wall to Fill in Alcove
Hey all, I have an entertainment alcove that I absolutely hate. It’s raised and pushed back so far that it makes tv viewing difficult from different angles. I’d like to frame a new wall in front of the current wall about half way in (14”) to mount my tv and add some built in shelves. Considerations would be that there is a fireplace to the left and my laundry room on the right with the appliances sharing the wall. Directly behind the current wall is the garage. Couple questions: should I remove the current wall to the studs before placing the new wall directly in Front of it (14”)? I understand that I shouldn’t cover a live outlet. So this would aid in moving the electric to the new front wall. should I remove the tile it sits on or just drill onto it? any other design considerations or better ways of accomplishing this? Thanks! submitted by /u/bootywhiteteeth [link] [comments]
