I know there’s a compressor in there somewhere, but I can’t find it.

Probably a sweet dog
I was told that no one would be home, but when I opened the door to this bedroom … how many ways can you say pit bull? I took the picture and quietly closed the door, disclaiming this room in my report.

Hot tub from Hell
This hot tub is installed on a very unstable deck. The deck is not properly secured to the structure and has no handrail. The far side of the deck overhangs about a 15-foot drop.

Medusa’s junction box
I found this junction box in an attic. This is the difference between an electrician and a master electrician.
