Drywalled

After all in-the-wall thingies (cables, wires, pipes) were set, the walls got covered by drywall and primed.

There is not much to say about this step except that you need to keep in mind that once the drywall is installed, making changes involving wiring or piping would be problematic. 

Learn from my mistakes and make sure you walk through the house and validate that you have proper number of switches, outlets and correct wiring before the walls are sealed. I did not and at a later phase discovered that wiring in the half bathroom was not set up correctly: two lighting sources (one in the ceiling and one pair on the wall by the mirror) were connected to a single switch (via a single wiring line). No idea how I missed it, but regardless: it was not good. And too late for an easy fix. To get it corrected, I need to hire an electrician, get him to the attic, install new wires, cut the drywall, connect another switch, cover the drywall hole, paint the wall. A major PITA.
