Its just unused space so I built in a shelf in the wall. The tv will be on the other wall where im talking the picture from.
looking good…i have to start my house project this spring and summer…its gonna be a long task lol
Reason I ask is that I did that, but put the “shelf” under the TV, otherwise the remote won’t work.
Here’s mine while I was building it.

^ remote extenders and you you can put the cable/dish box out of sight.
Yeah I’ve seen those, but I’d rather not run the wires.

you don’t have to run wires, you just hook up the extenders to the box.
I wall mounted a TV and put the wires through the back of the wall to the closet behind it where the box was. The dish box works fine, and the best part is there are no wires in sight.
I did something similar @ moms house. Hung a LCD on a wall, ran a 25’ (~$15) set of cables down, around the fireplace, and tucked up on a bookshelf to the dish box. No problems. Hidden with a hollow molding trim piece.
What did those windows run ya?
did the same for my parents, have their tv in a wall unit. boxes/stereo are all in a cabinet, hidden. One remote extender and you cant see any of it.
Those windows are about $ 837 a piece.
While you are still framing, I’d suggest running a string across that knee-wall as a guide, to make the drywall “seem” where the 2 sheets meet, as clean as possible. Perhaps on the ceiling too.

Nevermind…
A little work done today, just another knee wall.
And then I made some Cornbread from a recipe of Famous Daves BBQ.
mmm cornbread.
lookin good :tup:
Are those Knee walls only about 18" tall? Seems like you could make them a little taller and give up that “useless” floor space (can’t even put dressers or chairs there then)

That corner is for my dogs, their beds are gonna go down there. Besides, useless would be all boarded up.
How do you like the TV? I might put mine up in my attic and throw at least a 60" in place of this one.
If you need any hand tools or power tool accessories cheap, shoot me a PM. I know a guy…
^^^ Nice TV LOL. I like mine, however I want to get the swivel mount for when I sit in the chair that the picture was taken in. If I were you I would not get a bigger one for that location, it would look funny.
