ROFL!!!

A house in the neighborhood I lived in several years ago had a second story addition built and a stucco chimney extended up above the roof line, about 30 feet. The sideyards were 5 feet wide each and had an overhead power easement down the center.

I don't know why no one caught this, but the stucco crew erected their scaffold and started rolling out mesh-3 feet from the primary line. I don't think these guys comprehended the danger they were in, and they lucked out that the cutout opened after a metal corner bead fell across the line adn grounded out to the scaffold. The guys were all standing on the wood planks, fortunately. PG&E wasn't happy. Ended up costing the HO 20k to raise the poles.

Now, what's up with those porch columns?

"Now, whats up with those porch columns?"
What exactly are you asking?

Seems they should line up vertically. It also appears they are just supporting the balconys as temp posts and not secured. It won't take too much to kick the top one out if it gets jarred.

I noticed that myself, once you pointed it out! (can't tell you how many times I walked in those garage doors and never noticed). I meant to ask the builder when he got back from Xmas vacation, but I forgot. I will on Tuesday.

I wonder if you can hold a F40T12 out the window and it'll glow...

Come on over, I'm not sticking anything out that window!

Yeah... I don't really blame you

Tell me this is just photoshop?!

No photoshop-don't even have it. What you see is the actual deal. It is being relocated. I made sure the inspector saw this when we walked thru, and he was calling the POCO before he left the job.
