Interesting way to support the deck beam… not quite to code. 🪵🤨

Deck structures rely on secure, properly installed connections to remain stable and safe. When components aren’t properly anchored, it can create bigger issues down the line.

Yup… that oughta do it. 🪵😏

Nothing inspires confidence like a dimly lit crawlspace and a “custom” structural solution. If it looks like someone eyeballed it, cut a piece of lumber, and called it a day… they probably did.

Teamwork… electricians helping plumbers 🤝⚡🚰

When wires and plumbing all meet in one tight corner, you know everyone had a hand in this masterpiece.

Wood we**ie 🪵😬

When your home's structure is relying on a wedged scrap to hold things up, that's not reinforcement, it's wishful thinking.

Found the Silly Putty! 🫠

Nothing says “solid structural repair” like mystery filler packed into places it definitely does not belong. When pipes rely on patchwork blobs instead of proper connections, it’s less of a permanent solution and more arts and crafts.

Blast from the past… and somehow still on payroll ⚡🕰️

This is an old, still working three phase k**b and tube disconnect. Yes, still working. No, that does not make it modern.

Just because it powers on does not mean it’s powering safely.

Hold on tight… or don’t. 😬

When your deck railing is anchored with a light-duty L-bracket and a few short screws, “structural support” becomes more of a suggestion than a fact.

Perfect for leaning on if you want a thrill with your morning coffee.

So many problems. So little time.

Sure, the listing agent promises “no electrical problems,” but one look at this panel says otherwise. Crowded or questionable setups can signal improper modifications or potential safety concerns.
