Drywall cuts are pretty big.
Here is a pic:



That's just the start.
That whole side has that cut extended all the way down to the floor and then all the way to the other side of the ceiling.
This is on kitchen ceiling to get to master bath. I think this is the biggest area they need to cut.
Other areas like main level bathroom ceiling, master bath closet, under the tub, a wall behind the 2nd bath all have drywall window now.
I'll see what he means by he'll put everything back together and see.

Default Here are pics of the drywall back in place...

Here are pics of the drywall back in place in the kitchen.
Other areas do have similar holes but not as big as in kitchen.

The guy couldn't put one wall back in the garage as it crumbled but other pieces are back in.
There are not big gaps so should not be difficult to fix/patch.

No no.
I haven't done anything yet.
The plumber put the cut pieces back in.

Now I have to fill the cut with drywall paste and paint to match texture.
Then it should look nicer.

Looks like they did a decent job on not mangling up the drywall too bad. It shouldn't be much work at all to get the cuts filled, sanded, and repainted. I'm sure that saved you a good chunk of change.

Also, I wanted to say, thank you very much for posting this. My wife and I will be house hunting after the first of the year and I never would have thought about the piping possibly being an issue. This is being added to my checklist of items to ask when looking at a house.

Wait, so he just exposed everything to give a bid or did he already replace the piping?

Pipes are replaced and he put the cut drywall pieces back in.
Now it's up to me to patch the cut marks, match texture and paint over it.
