Pre-Drywall meeting date confirmed: 6/22 (day 38)
The roof being shingled on Monday was the last noticeable progress on the outside this week. Which is good, because that means the work moved inside, and won't be as affected by weather.
PM's text (which I had to initiate again) confirmed that we could expect electric and HVAC work to begin, we confirmed this with a family walk-through on Saturday evening. Not much exciting to report, unless duct-work is your thing. But we definitely began to notice problems.
Biggest one: we appear to be missing walls in a few places. Now I'm not a trained builder...but I'm pretty sure we need those.
First spot with just wrap over framing: top corner of garage.
Second spot with just wrap over framing: A crap-ton of the attic. For real. Did they think no one would notice? WTF. Maybe the guys who would come to install the siding would have realized it when there was nothing to nail to?
Luckily, Hubs has a long-term customer who's a former Pulte Homes project manager, and now owns his own construction company, who offered to act as our free(!) private inspector. He's scheduled to join us at the pre-drywall meeting this coming week. Let's hope he's brutal. :)
And with no further ado, pictures.

That's what ours looked like too. Wrap on the sides of the attic. As far as I know, plywood doesn't go up in those spots. We had an independent inspector and he came back with no major issues. Just to put your mind at ease :)
