inUpdate: I quit bidding jobs off a phone walkthrough after the Riverside school job bit me
Wait, the property manager couldn't mention a 400 amp panel on the phone? Was it a secret or something? Yeah, phone bids are like playing poker with a blindfold on, you're just hoping nobody lied to you.

inWhy does nobody talk about how nasty those old orange Julius counters get after 8 years of sitting empty
Grime pattern tells the story, huh? Nobody shoots floors, that's the real secret.

inTried a foam foundation pour for a slab, the inspector was not amused
Kept reading about rigid foam as a permanent form and I get why it seems like a win, but it usually only works for slabs on grade where the foam sits under the whole thing and never touches framing. Your case was different because the joists were already in, so the foam had nowhere to go but right up against the wood, and that is what trapped the moisture. Even on grade pours, most code guys want a real vapor barrier under the foam and the foam rated for ground contact, not just any sheet you grab at the yard. So the inspector was not just being picky, he was flagging a real problem with how the foam was being used.
