Talked to builder who put me in contact with lumber supplier. Talked to him and said he'd pull the file and send to me next week. Hopefully that'll be the end of it.
I agree probably should have just done it low key without permit. It's ridiculous they make it this big of a hassle. It's exactly why no ones want to deal with the permit office.
Now I have to find an electrician. The one who did the house originally wants to charge $3200 to install 9 lights and about 6 outlets. They ran the circuits when we built originally, so they literally just have to jump from light to light and outlet to outlet. I was expecting maybe $1500, but $3200...no way

Do it yourself. A couple hundred feet of Romex wire and the receptacles, etc. will only run you a couple hundred dollars. Especially if you will have open studs.
If not, get an electrician helper or somebody to do it on the side, and “help you”. You’ll have to pull the permit yourself.
