Arrow Shot Into Duct

1

I found this on an inspection yesterday, and I thought y’all would appreciate it!

The home owner had setup some archery targets in their basement - apparently, a shot went a little high :joy:

Nice one, Saman. By the way, did you take a peek behind the fiberglass insulation fastened to the concrete wall? It is known for potential mold growth. I thought I would throw that out there, have a good one. :smiley:

Thanks Junior!

I’m still working on my process and I have a couple of great mentors, but I still miss a few things here and there - but they’re keeping me on my toes! I’m happy to say I caught this arrow on my own. har har :yum:

Thanks Scott,

Honesty, I didn’t even think of looking behind the insulation. But I will from now on!

The home was occupied, and there were a ton of personal belongings around. There were a few spots where the wrap was torn… I should have looked there. Thanks for the tip!

Yep. Always next year I thought.

Nothing a little foil duct tape can’t handle or sealed for probing.
Personally though, I was hoping for an arrow in the deer or bear. :smiley: That’s good eating as well.

So, is attaching a duct to a wall with an arrow an approved method by code? Asking for a friend

I wonder if they had bought a duct stamp before killing that duct.
