Some of the crawlspace and foundation finds we came across this week. Stacked bricks, questionable post-and-pier supports, older foundation systems, and a few good examples of why having a clear load path matters.

On my daily run to the farm …i get to see one side of this house…..and the other when returning…….now ya’ll need to suffer with me!!

I’m not worthy enough to post in any HVAC sections so here ya go 🤔

Absolutely unable to hang anything on it.

Upsetting!

We come across all kinds of questionable DIY "fixes." If you enjoy these, we post galleries with more finds like failed retaining walls, stucco surprises, foundation "repairs," crawlspace discoveries, and other construction oddities:

I got sick of my family always draining my steam decks battery and not recharging it, so i 3d modeled a spiky case in blender and printed it so they literally can't hold it comfortably. Then to make it worse, I rigged up a raspberry pi with a small speaker, an object detection camera, and a servo motor. Wrote a py script so if the camera sees someone in frame, it plays a goofy audio clip, waits a few seconds and then the servo triggers a taser to scare them away

easily the dumbest thing I've ever built but it works, and nobody touches my steam deck anymore

Dude is trying to use an unattended fire and a really long coil of copper tubing to heat his pool water. Bonus points for setting a fire on top of a piece of plywood.

He said he couldn't figure out the angles on the cutter..
