Published August 2011

This is one shower that includes a way to keep warm and curl your hair at the same time! The shower stall heater was in a house with no ground, no GFCI and on a 20-AMP circuit.

Green machine

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.

Chimney leaking? Put a hose on it.

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.

I’m thinking there may be an issue here.

You may see saw, but do not use saw

Its okay to run your duct work through the main support girder as long as you have a good saw. Silly.

I’ll take your arm

Medusa’s junction box

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

Dangerous mind

I found this at a recent inspection.

Roof goof

Yes, that is a roof caulked up to a window. The second photo is the view from inside the house.
