Spouting Off

What was the architect thinking ending the downspout right above the electric panel? After 15 years, judge what the inside of this panel looked like.

Totally Tubular

This is a groovy apply for an old bicycle inner tube...at least they're recycling: This is a steam pipe in a 4-unit of measurement apartment building.

Hammered

This shows a hammer wedged between the copper supply line and boiler feed line at the basement sub-floor to help reduce water hammer, that banging sound caused by air in the pipes. Who knew a hammer could eliminate water hammer? All these years, I thought they were only adept for nailing.

Riveting Patch Job

That canvas metallic should hold upwardly the rafters at to the lowest degree until we get it sold! This house had an attic burn down and was supposedly repaired. The whole roof will take to be rebuilt again.

Nice Doggie

The seller kindly left the dog in the dorsum yard during the inspection, with me all lonely. I was supposed to talk sweetly to information technology. It did not work, and I did not enter.

Cheesy

And so, is the cottage cheese container holding up the shelf or is the shelf holding the cottage cheese container tight so sewer gas does not escape? Or is it both?

The 2x6 That Could

"Sure, we can put a window there! All we need to practice is remove the postal service from under that big beam and and then nail a 2x6 to the wall and so the axle doesn't fall downward—and have the house with it."

You Tin can't Blame a Squirrel for Trying

During our unusually cold temps in Jan, this unfortunate squirrel thought that he'd be OK if he but went downwards the chimney and followed the source of the rut. He concluded up inside the furnace cabinet and got caught between 2 sections.

Almost Vented

The waterfront domicile had recently been extensively remodeled. There is a new kitchen with top-of-the-line equipment. When I was in the attic, I found the vent pipe from the kitchen range hood non connected to the roof vent pipage. The home was built in 1968, and no edifice permits were issued for this piece of work.

Hot House

This gives a new meaning to a 'hot' house on the market! The furnace thermostat wire had shorted out on a new, withal-vacant house, and this was the within temperature reading I got. Laminate counter tops were de-laminating.

Artistic Plumbing Repair

These two photos came from the same house. I guess the homeowner didn't trust his own plumbing repair (consummate with doorknob and milk carton) and decided to do the dishes in the bathtub.

Because It'southward Illegal and Unsafe?

This is a car battery jumper cable attached to the main electric utility service line, wired to the electric panel for a house with no ability. Why pay for electric service when y'all can do this?

What a Mess

Rust, corrosion, and a gaping hole in a vent pipe that angles downwardly (hot air rises, you know). Sometimes, y'all just have to wonder.
