        "text": "Before framing crews arrive, homeowners should clear out personal items, identify utility locations, and secure necessary design plans. Clear a wide pathway from the entry door to the work area so long framing lumber and heavy LVL headers can be carried inside safely. It is also wise to locate your main water shutoff and electrical breaker panel in case lines run through the wall. Sharing any original architectural blueprints or past renovation records with your contractor helps determine structural load paths before demolition starts.",
