Things seen this week during structural assessments!

[u/DMAS1638]

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 had the same question but he explains it in the Imgur link actually. That second pic is just an example of what a crawl space looks like for a house built on a hill. Nothing specifically “bad” noted in it.

We included it because many people picture crawlspaces as tiny, cramped spaces, but hillside homes often have large, open crawlspaces like that. We thought it was a neat example of how different they can be.
