America's Home Place - Custom Home Builder Nashville - The Punch List

I thought I would share a "punch list" that I created to help me keep track of what is left to be done on our home with America's Home Place. 
This list has basically stayed the same over the past month and I hope to see more progression soon.

I am curious if this is a normal sized punch list for builders in this area.  I know in the North, that this is a pretty insane punch list to have and have never seen one of this length with builders up North. 

Someone suggested to me it's a southern thing. 

But is it?

Here's the list:
