Is This Code?!

A section dedicated to the endless number of construction follies that are less than likely to pass an inspection...

Water Heater?

There is too much going on here to know where to begin.  How bout the five gallon mud bucket at the bottom right.  Or the pvc pipe leading into the bucket.  I wish the spout leading out of the water tank at the top was visible, because it is in perfect position to pour scalding water on an unsuspecting passerby and second degree burn the hair right off their head!  Speaking of the tank at the top, the piece of wood holding it up is about as big thick as crown molding and does not look to be attached too sturdily...










Security?

Who needs a security system in Baltimore City when you have got a 2x4 and a nearby wall?  Murder capital of the country?  This friend of mine has it covered!











Going Green?

This motel had a posted inspection score of 85/100.  I have a good idea this is at least 10 of the points they got off.  In order to ensure heating/ac efficiency they seem to have used some kind of spray-on insulation to... actually i have no idea why they would do this.







Hot Box?

This is pretty self explanatory.  Electric boxes and trees normally are kept away from each other.  I think it has something to do with fire.









Shower Room?

I really dont even understand why there is a curtain.  On the bright side though, this could take the expression shower shit and shave to a new level.
