Dr. Phil and the bathtub do not mix

I came across an interesting deficiency during a recent home inspection: a TV installed just above a jetted tub. The TV did not have a remote, so I envisioned the homeowner standing in the water and surfing the channels. I advised the owner of the potential electrical shock hazard of this configuration, but  he saw no problem with the TV in the tub and planned to continue enjoying Dr. Phil while bathing.

This pipe is supporting a column for the main
carrying beam. How much weight can a 50-year-old cast iron pipe support?

More than fishy: Fishes

I thought I had seen everything in an attic until I saw this. Yes, these are fish.
