    Which due to the weight of the 5th wheel caused what you see here.

    Only one problem with that theory. The 5th wheel trailer is sitting on jacks.

    Tom

    Unless this is post disaster and the trailer was put on blocks to get weight off the truck so they could get the mess out from under the trailer. That's when the picture was taken.

    But, in all honesty, the 5th wheel hitch pin is probably more crooked than a Democrat now and they're going to have to cut it out of the hitch coupler.

    ^^^ Now, that's hilarious. Good grief!

    Today, we were preparing things for a demolition of the addition of a house. The addition was literally built on an existing deck (supported by 8 4x4's that used to support the deck). Anyhoo, this DIY special is coming down. But before it comes down, I made sure to get a shot of this brilliant framing job. This supports a roof that spans out 12' and is 14' across. LOL

    Woh. Were all the joists like that, Tom?

    Was that particular section coming down anyway, or only because you guys discovered it?
    That's sketchy AF. From what I can see it looks like it was kind of ledged there? and tearing back?

    It was all the way across! I see some crazy chit with what I do. Especially DIY stuff.

    This one was an easy one to decide that the whole thing was to be demo'd. You could tell from about every aspect that this was a DIY addition....but I gotta hand it to whoever did it....it did look pretty decent, "on the inside"....at least when you first saw it.

    In other words, when you were inside and first walked in? It didn't look too bad. Then you walked outside and it was laugh after laugh, after laugh. When we saw the crawlspace? We knew. That chit was coming down! LOL.

    You have to put butyl tape on the windows like this. (My carport addition I'm building). If it was for the house I'd have used tyvek wrap before putting on the siding.

    ^ Top shelf work right there.
    Nobody does work like that anymore. They just don’t give a ****! Hurry up, get the check & on to the next one.

    Always blows me away when I ask them if that’s how they’d do if it were their house for their family to live in and most say… oh hell no.
    Then there’s always a few that say yea, not very confidently though…

    I think the puzzled sage finally figured it out.

    There lived a sage in days of yore,
    And he a handsome pigtail wore,
    But wondered much and sorrowed more,
    Because it hung behind him.

    He mused upon this curious case,
    And swore he'd change the pigtail's place,
    And have it hanging at his face,
    Not dangling there behind him.

    So many things wrong yet sort of genius had they just used the ground and the flats or collar under the ball if it didn't have flats....or hey a tool called an impact

    Not doing it wrong if it works and Joe Homeowner is obviously making it work with what he has. More than likely he doesn't have an impact or compressor as he doesn't even have a decent car jack. If anyone has worked on those nuts they would know that quite often even a good quality snap on air impact with lots of air pressure behind it won't budge those nuts.
