The low voltage wiring guys came to wire the network, phone, and audio/visual cables. Here is a ceiling speaker bracket:

I'll be taking extensive photos of all the plumbing and wiring before the insulation is put into place so we know where everything is if we ever need to find or troubleshoot anything in the future.
