A real recipe for disaster

Be careful grabbing the corn starch!

No access

Tub-Access-Location.gif Here are photos of a sign denoting a whirlpool tub pump access location on the rear exterior wall of a new modular home. All of the homes in this subdivision (all manufactured) were the same way. The sign is approx. 30′ above grade, indicating the location of the whirlpool tub pump access panel  (under the vinyl siding) being approx. 22′ above grade, accessed only from the exterior of the house. Good luck finding a plumber willing to climb an extension ladder and remove the siding to fix the pump!

Nailed

I can’t imagine any other explanation for this find in a one-year-old home.

Look what his wife did to him! Don’t let this happen to you!
