No reason to do that unless he was maybe trying to mark the joints that weren't soldered?
I'm presuming this was before the walls were closed?

I only know what they told me. I didn't see it for myself.
I know when I was house shopping back in August, we did a couple of home inspections on houses that we ended up not buying. One of them was a newer house (built in 2013). The home inspector pointed out some strange plumbing issues. The one that stood out to me the most was plumbing in the basement that literally went nowhere. The home inspector, who himself used to be a builder, couldn't explain it. He said it wasn't a rough-in for anything that he could tell. It was just as if they started going one way a realized they were going the wrong way and left the other piping in place.
