Yup, looks a little excessive, and should have been patched solid if thats a bearing wall.

I am absolutely amazed sometimes by how much thought goes into doing things wrong

The first image is an existing wall from 1955, probably why there is no rebar…


Second image is a cripple wall in the center of the home, I think maybe I will call out the exposed rebar at very least as a necessary repair…

Tim;

If this house is from 1955 era, what is this pressure treated sill with the zinc bolts that should be galvanized with the G185 coating or stainless due the pressure treatment. Or is this the 1955 pressure treatment that did not corrode fasteners? Ha. Ha. .

House of that Era, did not surprise me to see these photos. They are still standing.
Pipe penetrations nonetheless excessive inability to coordinate using the proper tools.

This what happens when the plumber doesn’t have a coring bit. Not that I blame him for the cost of the damn things. That last photo??? looks to me like it sould have been poured with the cast in place rather than the waste pipe being an afterthought, fubar anyway.



Just my usual 12.5 cents

Tim:

I'm sure you are doing a fine job, and catching you on this one might cost me latter, (payback a bitch).

Good luck,

Marcel
