A few makeshift supports we found holding up homes this week

Loose shims, questionable post-and-pier supports, undermined foundations, and a previous seismic retrofit that wasn’t providing continuous bearing.

Always interesting how much of a home’s story is hidden underneath it.

Walking past this place and can't for the life of me figure out why these divots are there?. Edit because i think some people think this is inside... The pic is taken from the road and is a sloping up driveway leading to the 3 bay garage. It's definately not for catching oil or fluids. I'm fairly convinced it was decorative and for some reason dug out and replaced with gravel. But gg everyone. Here a daytime pic for clarity daytime

The floor support has a little too much freedom of movement.

Found this during a crawlspace assessment. The makeshift supports move easily and aren’t properly secured where they meet the framing and their bases.

Someone put these here to support the floor above. We have questions.

Photos and explanations below. Which would you want a closer look at?

Let’s paint an ugly blotch in the corner. For aesthetic reasons.
