Reply to comment by Brilliant-Towel4044 in LPT: If you're buying a house still under construction, photograph everything before the sheetrock goes up. Knowing exactly where the pipes, wires, and ducts are may prove invaluable some day, and even if you never use them the next owner will appreciate it. by Needleroozer

Well, hindsight is always 20/20 but foresight requires a good camera and some construction site sneakiness.

Just go on the weekend or holiday if possible, but none of the subcontractors working on my house gave two shits that I was there. One even got me to help him because he was working alone and was tired of going up and down the stairs. Also, I have at least one cable box that they never trimmed out and I wouldn't have known if I didn't have the pictures. I didn't get to pick the locations, I bought too late and couldn't deviate from their plans.

Bro no one will question you if you just wear a safety vest or a hard hat. And that's sticking out. Lose the vest, and gauge whether or not you need the hard hat.

Pre drywall or roofing still being worked on at adjacent addresses? hard hat.

Drywall up, and just trim out work with ram board on the floor? No hard hat.

Or fuck it. Go after 5. No GC is there after 5. Well, the bad ones aren't. The good ones stay. But the good ones are too busy fixing the fuck ups from the shitty contractors.
