Lets see, if the steel columns rust away and fall down because of chronic, unabated water penetration, I’m sure that scraps of lumber wedged on jacks will work just fine

Yeah, I start rambling on about why this is bad, going into a dissertation on proper support and stuff like squshblocks and the like… yapping away for a few minutes.
The guy appears to be absorbing it, stands qiuet for a few moments and says to me " So, you want a slice or something?"
Later, as I'm finishing up the inspection, he asks me if there are any problems.
