        "text": "Before framing starts, inspect and photograph your overhead floor joists, noting the exact locations of plumbing cleanouts, gas valves, electrical junction boxes, and water shutoffs. You should also ensure any overhead leaks are fully repaired and that sub-trades have run all their rough lines. Decide in advance what type of lighting you want, such as ultra-thin wafer LED lights or standard recessed cans, because their housing depths dictate how much framing clearance is necessary below existing structural beams or floor framing.",
