Someone should unplug that fan in the corner of the room. Water isn't good with electricity...

Haven't you heard of hydro-electricity?

Damn, I've been doing it wrong this whole time. No wonder I couldn't figure it out!

My client this evening paid me cash, but in dollar bills. I asked him if his wife was a stripper and man did he get pissed!

Homeowner/seller insisted on staying for the home inspection today. He ended up telling me way more information than he should have... One thing was him showing me a dip in the floor of the kitchen/bathroom wall area. I guess his HVAC Guy got a little carried away! Now it makes sense why the toilet leans to one side.

I guess blocking it or a 4x4 or a 6x6 are too expensive? WTF!

What could possible go wrong?

A leaning toilet helps your legs from falling asleep.. Its a feature not an issue.

What happens when you fall through and you/legs fold up like a taco?

If the contractor says there's not need for a Permit from the local building department.......there's definitely a need for a Permit from the local building department!

Jeffro: Shoot! I measured wrong, and now the 1/0 service drop is too short for the garage subpanel..

Billy Bob: Just splice in two 10 AWG wires. That should be enough!

Jeffro: You can't do that, can you?

Billy Bob: Hold my beer!

Just so you know what you're looking at, the first picture with the wires coming out of the conduit. They are 1/0 wires coming out from the main panel in the home, and have been reduced to 10 or 8 AWG wires that you see connecting to the top of the subpanel.

The larger 1/0 wires you also see coming off the top of the subpanel go over to another sub panel at the opposite side of the detached garage.

I bet the connection is warm to the touch....if you have the balls to touch it!

Especially, if the welder or air compressor is being used. lol

I also happen to know the selling agent on that home. I sent him a text telling him his listing was a Mecca of redneck engineering. The above post is only one of many things I saw on that job.

I'm sure @CigarStone has never said this to you, but try touching your tongue to it.
