Can’t say I blame him. I too would have found her image ‘unsettling’. Almost as 'unsettling' as an Oasis reunion concert to which the media has devoted more air space than is really necessary. Seriously? That's not what I deem 'news'.
Thatcher's portrait was probably one of those pictures with beady eyes that follow you round the room. Should have chucked it on a bonfire but I guess that’s not very environmentally friendly. Its a wonder her ghost isn’t lurking around the corridors of power, haunting all those hapless incumbents that followed in her wake.
The PM might be busy taking down stuff but we’re still busy putting it up, with the TV unit progressing steadily upwards.
Today’s focus is the lower shaped shelf and component compartment.

Before fitting the shaped shelf, work out how all the telly cabling will connect to the power bar under the shelf then cut a hole towards the back of the shelf top. Remember this hole needs to be large enough to feed a plug through it. Sand and stain/paint the interior of the hole ready for grommet.
Position small drawer units tightly next to the vertical side panels. As these are not as deep as the Cuba cabinet then to stop the drawers sliding back a wooden chock has been inserted behind them. A small painted spacer fits into the side space in front of each vertical side panel.

Slide the shaped shelf into position on top of the drawer units making sure each vertical side panel fits into the special shaped side slot. At this stage, don’t push the shaped shelf fully towards the back wall as you need to allow play for speaker cables to run to the top shelf.
When you are satisfied that all the drawers and spacers are in the correct location then place a vertical support tightly next to each drawer unit. Screw the shaped shelf into the supporting vertical pieces placed at the side of each drawer box by screwing down from the top surface. Repeat until both sides done.

The shaped shelf should now be supported underneath at each end, the vertical side panels locked into position against the recess walls and there should be an empty central compartment ready for you to fill with gadgets or gizmos.

Next step – fixing the inner end shelf panels and top shelf.
