You have mentioned some things that I had not thought of - and will be sure to check.

I prepared a checklist of things to check, by area and item -
for example: Kitchen; each appliance, countertops, caulking, drawers, cabinets (open/close/align, etc.) Tile: grout lines. cracks, etc. Electrical:
check each outlet, fans, lights, etc. - I wanted to post this in case anyone in our situation wanted it, but I cannot see how to upload an Excel
spreadsheet from my PC to a posted message... I have it, and if anyone wants it, send me an e-mail and I will attach it in a reply. It may be a good "starting point" for going through your walk-through. I will modify it to include your items, and add any others that are brought up that are not presently included in my list.

Thanks again (to all who have responded)!! :beer2:
My PC bombed! I lost the spreadsheet, as well as everything else (apparently, possibly, hopefully NOT) - anyway, I received e-mails from two people asking for the spreadsheet, which I no longer have - but based upon my closing experience, I did not need. Sorry to those who e-mailed me!

Our "builder" was Sissy (?), and she had no interest in doing a "walk-through" - she just told us to go through the house and note things that needed attention, and let them know inside of five days ("or so") - there were so few items that a spreadsheet was a giant OVERKILL! I hope that everyone has the same experience! Not that there were not things wrong, but there were only a few, and we noted them on a small paper for the folks who do the "correcting" (the word I want is locked in my brain, and will not be retrieved until the second I hit "POST")
