        "text": "Before ceiling framing begins, homeowners must confirm that all rough plumbing, electrical wiring, HVAC modifications, and low-voltage cables above the joists are fully inspected and completed. You should also check for past moisture leaks, address condensation issues on cold water lines, and test overhead duct seals. Deciding on recessed light locations, ceiling fan placement, and smoke detector points before the framing phase prevents expensive framing revisions later when blocking is secured.",
