What happens here
Construct internal wooden frames to fit snugly into the rectangular drywall cutouts. These frames will support the recessed shelving and provide attachment points. Use wood glue and clamps during assembly to ensure strong joints. Once assembled, slide the frames into the wall openings and secure them to the existing wall studs or blocking using screws. During installation, route any necessary electrical wiring for outlets, TV power, or integrated lighting (such as puck lights in shelves) within the wall cavities and through the new wooden frames.
Goal: Build and install wooden frames to support recessed components and route electrical.
