The guy doing the walk through will try and run everything.... he's done it a a million times..... he'll just blurry everything... btw odds are he's already been through it once before you even get there.

Don't let him do anything, he wants to show you the water is hot, you turn it on..... if he insists then wait till he's finished and then do it till your satisfied.

pull off the vents where they just lay on carpet and such and look in.... I found rolls of tape, pieces of wood....ect had them have the ducts cleaned.....

if you had any extra's which you paid for, bring that list.... make sure they are done. It was a long time since you picked everything..he will have a list.... so can you. ( would have missed that my tile pattern I paid extra for wasn't done if not for my list )

Open every window, if they are the reversable windows for cleaning make sure each work.... check the screens make sure they aren't damaged.

Same with all the doors, open.....close them make sure they latch completely... doorbell work?

Surge protection on the breaker panel for the kitchen, bring a small night light to test plugs for power.

open up the bottom kitchen cabnets and look up, make sure your counter isn't cracked ( dudes like to stand of them )

Here is your best line " This is not what I payed for " pull that puppy out and watch his face.....this contract you signed can work both ways. Wanna really freak him out, bring a camera and document everything that isn't right. ( I never did that but it can come in handy, they will say we can't find anything wrong ) He will mark anything wrong with a piece of tape.....a photo on a bad area will remind you of where to look after. Keep inmind of the 5 foot rule..you should be 5 feet away when looking, being completely picky will not make this a pleasant time.

I've been through a few of these, hell even one almost game to blows, the guy was such as ass to my girlfriend she was in tears...called her stupid, that it doesn't matter.... I told him to leave now and call his boss or I will $%^& you up. Now not to freak you out, but that was a bad example.... Mostly these go very smoothly. ( dude was fired BTW )

I'm sure i've fogot some stuff, i'll add to the list if anything pops into my head.
