"Hi! I'm Joshua Lindsey with CFM Builders Science Solutions. On behalf of Expert Village, we are going to do a quality assurance walk through on this house. Another thing to check into, when you flip these lights on the outside, they are going to turn on during the middle of the day but since it is daylight, you are going to notice that right here on the side of your house, is a sensor that is supposed to catch the daylight. Make sure that is very nice and clean. If there is gunk and stuff on the front of that, your lights aren't going to end up shutting off in the middle of the daytime. Just make sure that is nice and cleaned off and that your lights do shut off since it is daylight out here. If you come back in this direction and you are going to think about this area right here. You've got water flow that is going to be coming out here. It is obviously going to have to go around your air conditioning unit, the water flow from your back yard. It is not going to do a very good job of that. As you look out that direction, your water flow is going to get stopped up right there where your rocks come in. So you really need to look at grates and you need to look at how your water is going to come out of the back yard. How is your yard supposed to drain? And when there are areas that is going to puddle up, you need to ask your builder about it and say hey, I'm going to get a puddle right here and hey it might only rain here two times a year but I don't want to walk through a puddle here two times a year, so think about that kind of stuff.
