    Nice house with poor lineset install

    I was working next door to this mess, the picture is the front of the house.
    The piping could have come out the side of the stone wall, but some genius thought it would look better coming out of the slate roof.

    Wow! & I bet that was done by a so called "licensed contractor"

    That was a lot more work than coming out the side, maybe they had some boxes in the way and the guy was too lazy to move them?

    just sad as the other guy said

    Did they take advantage of an unused roof jack? Even if they did, that could have been done a lot neater.

    That's kind of what I was thinking. No matter what the reason, that's really a ghetto job in the way it was run, and that doesn't look like no ghetto house or neighborhood.
