I appreciate a creative use of scrap lumber as much as the next person, but jeez. I’m getting tired of floating sistered joists and framing.

    One of our friends found that wall severely browned and crisped behind the oven after it was improperly installed for decades, lol. Terrifying wiring mistakes too, the type that make your hair stand on end. They were remodeling after bad water damage and found all sorts of terrible surprises.

      I’m glad they found that and (hopefully) rectified it! Surprise reno and remodels are never much fun.

      This particular turn of phrase has me in stitches, well done!

        Omg, haha. I didn’t even realize the unintended pun xD

        And yes, they are now properly wiring and insulating their house and oven :)
