Don’t worry about it Clem !
They will never get under here to see it.
Just put that broken block under it and balance the rest on it.
It’ll hold.

HE furnace vent, I gave the outside portion a light tug and it pulled off in my hand. I could only get my hand with a camera above the hard lid to see this.

Good catch, happen to me a few weeks ago except that it was the HE furnace and WH vents. House was vacant, maybe the homeowner…

Dual purpose venting 4" bathroom exhaust fan vent is connected to a 2" plumbing vent.

That’s some reduction,I wonder does it whistle or blow back through the drains

This could delay the lawn cutting or a be trip issue, or melt the siding or it could just be just wrong lol:shock:

[rlewis5 (Roy Lewis, CERTIFIED MASTER INSPECTOR RETIRED)]

Well ! Wilber !
Look at what you went and done now ! Froze up the freezer!
How in the heck are we goona put that in our beer cooler !

That is a solid block of ice from front to back.

Narrative ?

At time of inspection the freezer was frozen shut, and upon careful consideration and against counsel , the Client decided to just snatch it open .
Hence ,Discovering this big *** block of ICE.:D.
After takin’ pictures and gawking at it for a moment the Client tried to shut the door , but it would not come close to shutting .
In Addition. The Client being unable to shut the thing decided to beat it out with a hammer.
As I was approaching the final part of the inspection, he got it out and proceeded to put it in his beer cooler.
Good job Wilber !

They must have proud to pack these suckers together so tightly, except, uh, well, who needs access to a furnace anyhow!:roll:

Not to mention the missing discharge pipe!

[mclark2 (Michael Clark, CMI)]

Just use the golf club handle to operate the switch. It’s insulated so you won’t get shocked…

[mauger (Mike Auger, CMI - RI 43685, RMC-142, RMB-096)]

That’s great, are the club shafts metal of fiberglass?

[mcyr (Marcel Cyr, CMI)]
