Home Improvement Project

So here's the product of one of my hoobies I have picked up. The custom shelf was left by the contractor for us to finish. I'm guessing he didn't know how to finish it himself or was just unwilling to do a good job with it; nonetheless we we're glad to have him out of our house. He left a cheap plywood backing that was warped & glossy and the wood was left bare next to finished walls. So this is what I did to fix it: I took a hammer to the plywood backing and ripped it out; I then cut some 2x3's to make studs for the back walls; bought some sheetrock and cut it to size and screwed it into the studs; cut some wood to finish the window & secured the wood paneling into the studs I made; mudded & taped the gaps & corners; added the cable jack and fished in the cable; stacey helped sand the rough spots and then painted the shelf. The kids love the new TV we purchased for the shelf and took ownership of the bottom shelves. What do you think??
