Hi everyone, and again I wish to thank all the participants and please all,

take a few moments to vote for the Best Defect Picture for this month.

Only takes a moment.

Remember, submit only once in a Month, and pictures are limited to 25, so some may get deleted.

Thanks:)

This basement handrail is something special. You can see someone did actually have caution tape on it, but only the caution tape remnants remain. DUCT TAPE CAN FIX ANYTHING.

Yes this is outside and operational. This is not a temp service neither been in use for many years

I am calling the state electrical inspector on Monday about this, this not safe for any one and in my opinion is a major defect and health danger.

I just barely tapped the wall with my screwdriver and look what happens.
Second pic was about 8 feet above the first. I set my ladder up on the adjacent wall to check it out higher up and placed my hand on the wall. Selling agent feels I should have to pay for the damage now.

Well we had a lot of irrigation drain line left after we directed all the water over to the neighbors lawn, so we figured we might as well replace the ductwork as well

The listing agent said they just drilled a new well two days ago!
The water came out like this for a solid half hour and never got any clearer.
