We had our walkthrough today, and all is well. Now I can show you guys my (mostly) finished garage interior: My main panel, subpanel, irrigation controls, solar controls and backup battery.

Got my landscaping done and false shutters installed. Walkthrough on Tuesday, closing one week later, and then the real fun can begin - the garage setup!
