Home Improvement

This post is a bit delayed… but a couple of weeks ago we upgraded our TV, and mode of sitting to watch it!

Here’s the old recliner, that most of you have at some point sat in:

This guy kept us comfortable for over ten years, but had gotten a bit long in the tooth and the mechanism had broken in at least one place. We probably should have replaced it long ago but… it was still comfortable.

At any rate we finally got around to replacing it with…

…an updated newer model! The biggest change is no leather. Word of advice: if you live where it gets cold in winter, avoid leather couches!

The new guy is stupid comfy and reclines even better and we love it to death. Which is good since we have a good reason to sit on it, a new TV!

Here’s the old guy:

It’s almost 8 years old now and still very good but lacking certain features (such as 1080p) that are standard today. At 39″ it was also a bit small, even though it was massive when we bought it.

So we replaced it with this:

It’s a 55″ smart TV with 3D as well. It’s gorgeous, and we’re already spoiled with the picture. Now this we definitely should have done sooner!

Incidentally that dude on the screen is Jensen Ackles playing Dean in Supernatural. We’ve been marathoning all the seasons recently since KLS acquired the Blu-Ray box set. We watch 2-4 episodes a night, and are about 120 down, 40 or 50 to go 🙂
