I swear every time I think rough-in is done, the house finds a new way to humble me… we’re about $9,200 into this bathroom wall and now I’m staring at black drain pipe, red and blue water lines, exposed framing, outlet boxes, loose wires, insulation in the next bay, a half-cut ceiling arch above, and enough sawdust on the floor to start a second project. The contractor said “it’s ready for board once everything gets checked,” but I’m looking at all these pipes and wires wondering what I’m supposed to catch before the drywall goes up forever. It looks like a plumbing wall, electrical wall, and mystery ceiling cutout all decided to meet in one corner. Would you close this up, or would you want another inspection before anything gets covered?
