Treated my room over the holiday!!

hello, first off this site has helped me out quite a bit through word and pics. Over the holiday i decided that i would try and tackle some of the process of treating my room for standing waves and early reflections. i have a web site and have uploaded all my pics as a .rar file for you to view. The project took about 40 hours in total approx and left me with what i would consider a fair amopunt of treatment for 300 bucks canadian dollars. I used Roxul 3" thick pieces of insulation, alot of 1x6 peices of wood, and about eighteen meters of fabric.
Fabric - 18 meters - $42.32
Wood and Supplies - $260.23
total spent $302.59
In the end i have 4 bass traps for the corners, 3 early reflections traps, and a gigantic ceiling trap which would work as both a reflection and bass trap. Unfortunaly i was unable to find owens corning 703 705 frk etc. so basically in all cases they are all made of frame insulation and material, no kraft paper or any other type of backing or solid sheets. The "bass trapes in the corners were doubled in thinkness giving 6" including the ceiling peice. the frames that are setup for reflections are only 3"thick.
Im hoping i could get any feedback possible. My room is L 13'3" H10' W 11'10". the bass traps in the corners are 2' in width and cross the corners evenly except for one, its in a corner which has a a fan for my central air there for the angles arent perfect. I was wondering if the angles being slightly off is a major problem or should i make sure the are purfect even if it means not havein the sides perfectly flush with the walls? Another question i have is in regards to my one corner in my room that has a set of blinds window sill that is about 1' deep on both walls. What the heck can i do in the corner? The pics show what i mean. anyways here is the link. any help or comments much appreciated.
