A
wonderful example of "double tapping" -- two wires on a breaker rated

to be properly supported.
This
chimney is leaking creosote and the wood around the chimney is damaged.
The outside looked great, due to a new roof.
This
roll roof needs replacement yesterday.

A
classic example of why direct copper to galvanized pipe connections are

chimney is slowly pulling away from the house.
