    I hate to admit I've don't things like that on tight "renovations" (don't cut out drywall) with supplies, but never a flue!!!

    The copper flex on the water heater, and the filter rack that looks like it doesn't catch anything are gems too.

    HAha yeah I had to laugh when I saw it. I shut the gas valve off when I left and told the home owner he can do whatever he wants after I leave. I don't mess around with exhaust. It looks like a 4x3x3 wye. The furnace is so oversized that it comes on for about 5 minutes then shuts off. The temp swings are completely wild...

    That one is pretty good, all single wall pipe too, hope it is in a conditioned space...


    The worst I've found was a kitchen exhaust hood wyed into a furnace vent pipe in an attic.

    Great title to thread...made me laugh. Sometimes I wonder, based on these kind of installs, if people don't care or do they just not know any better?

    Wye Oh Wye?

    Went out for a maintenance inspection today and found the 1 year old furnace to be a 90,000 BTU in a house that needs 26,000. And found this little gem:
