As I look thru the requirements for these badges, I'm coming to the realization that I might never have opportunity to get them, because nearly all of the items listed in the "Straw" group are minor/easy things, most of which I've already done, but didn't take pictures - I just fixed the problem at hand...

I did remove and replumb all the gas piping in my sister's basement because it had mixed galvanized and black pipe fittings, and I did take pictures of that job...

Can I get credit for the lower level with a more advanced job submission?

These are the before pics:
