Stupid Property Repairs #4
I thought that I would give North Minneapolis Investment Properties a break this week. Unfortunately, I didn’t have to go far to find another funny installation. I was in South Minneapolis looking at a very nice $230k duplex. Although this property was in foreclosure, it was very well maintained with a perfectly landscaped backyard. It also had 2 garages: one double car garage for the owner that used to live downstairs and then a single car garage for the upstairs 1 bedroom apartment.
Today’s stupid property repair has to do with the below exterior light installation.
When I opened the door to the garage, I noticed it stuck slightly when it was open about 1-2 inches. I thought that was strange and realized that the light was hitting the door (not to mention the bottom of the light was at about eye level). Upon further examination, it appears the installer decided not to move the light over a little or buy a smaller light, but notching out the door was easier!
Well…I suppose it works!
That’s not stupid, Scott, it’s just plain lazy! That person should have measured twice (hopefully, they didn’t…then they really would be stupid) and drilled once. But to take the time to wedge out a chunk is pretty bad. I love these posts…keep ‘em coming. I see some stupid ones, too, but I never think they’re as good as yours so I don’t send them. I’ll be on the lookout! – Jeanie Hoholik
Reminds me of when comcast came out to install a little box thingy on the back of the house and put it on the house so that it prevented us from being able to open the cellar doors.
Teresa-
Thanks for stopping by. I have had some experiences with cable guys like that! They attempt to put the cable under the doorway and make a trip hazard!
