Got a call for a simple drop in a new build in Henderson and found a real mess

I was running a new line to a bedroom and the whole wall cavity was packed with leftover insulation scraps from the builders. Couldn't get the fish tape through at all. Ended up having to cut a small access hole in the closet next door and pull everything through by hand, which added like an extra hour to the job. Anyone else run into builders just stuffing junk in the walls before drywall goes up?

That kind of thing happens way too often. It feels like a lot of trades now are just trying to get the job done as fast as possible, with no thought for the next person who has to work on it. You see it everywhere, from rushed construction to cheap repairs. It just creates more work and cost down the line for the homeowner.

Yeah, "rushed construction" is the story of my last renovation.
