Lateraled last month. It’s so amazing to have bosses that are actually decent people and who are invested in your professional development. Been thrown into the fire over and over the past 3 years so it’s great to actually have support and guidance.

Hi, weird question for this forum, so I apologize. I’m trying to be creative here and use the tv stand that I have. The issue is that it has an open back so you can see all my tv wires. I can’t hide the wires because my building won’t let me open the wall. My idea was to slip a tile sheet that is wall behind the tv stand as a back, but I need the tile cut to the specific heigh and width of the tv stand. Does anyone know where I can take this tile sheet to get cut to the specific measurements?
