Originally my brother in law who's in the industry was going to come but he's out of town for the entire month so that's a bummer. Any thoughts?
Maybe I can bribe Hondaracer with beers and or weed to come along lol

Dont need to hire an inspector. Just check everything in details. Does the sink/shower works? How's the water pressure/Oven/dish washer/stove, microwave make sure they all work. Blinds do they run smooth? Check for areas on the wall to see if there are paints that's not painted, check all outlet and see if they line up. If it is hard wood floor see if there are any major gaps. If you have a balcony make sure is all paints as well. Check the doors and closet door to make sure they close well and it is smooth.
Just keep in mind some stuff won't be fix (coz they are so small in the developers eye) some needs to be fix ASAP.
Also once you move in if there are stuff still not fix or you find new stuff that needs fixing the developers still have to come out and fix it.
I had to do that like 4 times so far since some stuff isn't fix and I find new things that needed some fixing. Recently when I use the dishwasher after a party I notice it started leaking the water into the cabinet under the sink and onto the hardwood floor. Had to call the developers up. Somehow who ever hook the dishwasher didn't tighten the pipe so it was leaking. That was fixed but now the cabinet under the sink needs replacing.Is been two weeks still no word yet but I have been emailing and phoning them every 4 days or so for an update. The thing is most likely the whole set of cabinets needs to be replace not just one so they might be trying to avoid it. You have to keep pressing and pressing. This week if I don't get a clear update I am going to demand to speak to their managers since it doesn't take 2 weeks to get someone out to replace the cabinets.
