This is a combination plumbing vent pipe and satellite dish mount. Gets really bad reception when the toilet is flushed. The crappy reception!!! And STINKY SERVICE!!!

Bats.jpg

This is an attic gable vent with about 15 bats on the outside of the vent screen. The other 15 or so left when I lit them up with my flashlight. However, check out the 2’ black SNAKE on top of the vent inside the attic, trying to figure out how to have one of the morsels (or is that marsupials?) for dinner. So, do I tell my buyer to get rid of the snake or keep it to help keep the bats out of the attic?

More fun with puns

I guess the owner figured this receptacle was for “butts.”

Togetherness should have a limit

What is there to say? Yes, they both are hooked up and functional. No, the second toilet does not have bidet
fittings.  What you can’t see is there is no plumbing vent.

I told my client that he was looking at an “S” trap, as in snake trap!

The shower enclosure was a little dark. The new light works great.
