Ribbit

I found this frog in a crawl space. This particular crawl space has some ground water issues.

Plumber: 1; Electrician: 0

Here is an electrical sub-panel I could not get at. Maybe the plumber and electrician did not get along, so the plumber won.

All wrong


I inspected this furnace in a newly remodeled house. That is a single-wall vent pipe in the attic, sealed with duct tape, attached to the framing with electrical cord and terminating in a turbine vent. In the bottom photo, you can see the clearance issues with the temperature control and the wall. The whole thing is wrong!

One temp fits all

This is that new shower head where apparently one temperature suits all. Notice there is no water control valve on the wall. The red knob turns the water on. Permits and approvals, anyone?

Fido furnace

Is your dog looking for his dish? Well, we found the dog food dish being used to cover the duct port to the furnace.

A little spare time

This is not a postcard from the field, it’s my own house. I was just having a little fun. I call it: “Poor man’s fire sprinkler
system. Kid-approved. Wife-disapproved.”

Tight fit

Parking is a little tight in this neighborhood.

Elegant and dangerous

For ambiance (and safety), candles may be a better choice …
