As stated in other threads, I did a 3-family forclosure inspection today with issues throughout the building.
This is a support post someone added in after the floors started sagging from extensive Termite damage.

Check out the major infestation from Termites…
Main carrying beam with my probe pentrating right through…
I pushed some wood ceiling coverings out of the way and looky here. Major termite damage right up the wall framing and into floor joists and the sub-flooring itself.
Simply unreal…and someone was interested in buying it?..looks similar to my Travesty posts…:D…I said the same thing to myself…“someone is really interested in buying this”…:shock:
David,
I hope you didn’t talk someone out of buying this “cute little bungalow” with “a real lived in feel!” You deal killer you1 I can’t believe you pushed stuff aside to look for termite damage!
Many years ago when my wife and I were looking to buy our first home, a female Realtor who was taking us around kept using the term “it has nice curb appeal”. Finally, after about the 30th POS she had shown us, as we pulled up to this pile of crap and she says…It has nice curb appeal, I told her the only damn thing appealing about the place was the curb. She didn’t want to be our Realtor anymore.
Looking at some of your other threads on this house it may be a good idea to purchase and use as a training house…looks like the whose who of issues!
I personally like the extension cord stealing the neighbors power…fan favorite…
Hi Mark;
We talked about this before and this comment was made.
I write-up screw type jacks or posts as “temporary supports.” So it doesn’t matter to me which end is up, it needs to come out after a permanent support is installed.
