Every time Linus posts a house update, this room slowly looks like more and more of a datacenter

[matthewcohen]

At this point, house updates are my absolute favorite LMG content. Going to really suck when they run out of things to install/upgrade.

As a carpenter of 20 years, watching you lot do carpentry, is a rollercoaster of emotions. <3

[ryleeoreo]

It's so weird that everything they did in this video just worked, but hey props to the team that made the setup.

The older I get while watching LTT the more I start to envy linuses ability to pay for his friends.

When mounting heavy things to a wall first screw a horizontal 2x4 to the bottom of the wall and *rest* the large heavy thing on the 2x4. Makes it infinitely easier to screw it permanently into the wall. You can remove the 2x4 later or leave it in for extra strength.

[spelledfunny]

The more of his in-home stuff I see, the more I wonder how enormous his power bill is.

"sonos are good at supporting older hardware" casually forgetting that time that Sonos intentionally bricked a load of devices (CR100) just so they didn't have to support them and were going to drop support for other speakers

[LycanWitch]

7:35 the one red and one orange bracket can be useful to indicate/mark an amp that is most important so you can identify immediately.. i.e. the amp that controls the main entertainment area of your house, or whichever will get the most use. So that if something ever goes wrong and you need to check connections, check the amp, or whatever.. you don't have to consult a wiring diagram or search for labels to know which set of wires and amp controls the room that gets used the most.

I know no one's gonna read this, but fudge me, at 9:00 when Linus bugs out and takes like 5 seconds to load, literally had me rolling.

Rolling because I had to watch it like ten times. I placed myself comfortably into his situation, with ease, because as a man, I think We've all been there. So much stuff going on that you get distracted enough to zone out to who-knows-where and hope that someone can pick up the buffer and snap you back into this dimension that at that moment, we didn't belong.

Y'all editors are some of the best I've seen on YouTube, I love the content, I love the laughs, I love the technical knowledge about stuff I will never be able to afford or be bothered to install if I could even afford!

Keep it up! Love y'all

[scotthallgv]

You guys should have done a 45 degree angled mount for the amps so the back end on each amp was exposed for ease of access and arrange them like in a roof shingle pattern. That would have looked sick AF!

[NaviYT]

It's really nice to see you all do these non-testing videos. This is the LTT we were missing

[BoldRam]

Linus so immersed into the build that he missed Alex asking if he could put it in the wrong hole. 😎😎

[maedre]

For the next time you hang plywood sheets on the wall, french cleats may be an easier option. It means you can get into studs without worrying about where the items on the plywood are. It's much easier to work around items that way.

[dvanced]

Credit to Luke for the board mounting solution, I believe he had a landlord that wouldn’t let him mount his router to the wall.

[VainSoftGames]

Need some extended extended versions of these videos. Always enjoy these type of videos.

[Underscore]

I used to install multi-home audio for 10 years. Predating Sonos and the new wireless systems. This is different, usually we did it with multi-channel amplifiers and switchers. All controlled through a touchscreen with a managed system. Sonos works great though, we did a couple of those, however, switchers and rack-mounted amps may have been the way to go? Of course, smart systems to manage something like this are their own monster. I can see why you wouldn't want it either.

[peterjefferson]

A tip in the future for a larger piece like that is to mount a 1x4 to length to the studs beforehand when they are easy to find, then when you go to attach your finished piece you know anywhere in that 4 inches it is already secure to studs. You guys did good but their are situations where hoping you got the stud right and missing is an issue for more reasons then one

[mtus]

"that feels like *a thing* instead of... Stuff" is the most vague yet deep sentence I've heard in a minute

[xXDaReasonXx]

I fully support any unnecessary sound upgrade, and i love that Linus has taken it upon himself to build the tech home of his dreams out of his business and get paid while doing it. Its pretty baller.
