Neat job. Great looking room too. Can you give a cost break down too? Especially on the Rockwool and where you sources it from?
 
annapl- Bass traps look great, well done! A few suggestions.
1. Place some of these or additional traps on the 4 tri-corners where three walls (vertical, horizontal, ceiling) meet. Place it in such a way that two walls and the back of the trap form isosceles triangle. If you are making a separate bass trap for the corners then build superchunks. If you google using the word corner bass traps superchunks you will get a detailed diy design of it. Since bass build-up is maximum in the corners placing bass
traps here would maximize the performance

2. Since you are using velocity/porous bass traps leaving a gap of 4 inchs from the wall for any trap will maximize its low end absorption performance

3. Bass traps which are not placed at early reflection points and are at-least 10ft away from the listening position, use a very thin plastic or a plywood and bond it on top of the insulation. This will reflect high frequency, maximize low end absorption and prevent over dampening of the room

4. You might try placing additional bass traps at the 4 wall-ceiling corners where bass accumation is relatively higher.

Finally you might consider downloading REW, a free room response analyzer and buy a usb microphone like UMIK-1 to measure room responses as you experiment with these bass traps.

Thanks
