Framing: the skeleton tells tales

Point loads, headers carrying actual loads, hold-downs that match the hardware schedule, fire blocking people swear they will “come back to”—shoot now. Drywall is a conspiracy against truth.

Mechanical conflicts

Notch photos (hopefully there are none), bores through plates, stacked penetrations that make inspectors sigh. Voice: “GC approved sister here—see email 3/12.”

Sheathing and bracing

Corner details, nailing pattern wide shots if spec cares. You will not reshoot this from a drone after siding.
