25 May 09 - Please be sure photos are clear, in focus. Add descriptions when the construction error is not obvious. Not all members are professional home inspectors, architects or engineers. Let's try to educate people as to what is wrong (in the photos). Spammers will be removed and/or banned. THANKS FOR VISITING! Keep the photos coming. I know there is a lot of bad construction out there. I see it all the time..

About Home Construction Nightmares

Photos of existing construction (new or remodeled) where something is sorely wrong (via incompetence, wear or error) with the execution of the (construction or repair) work.

ASHI members (Amer. Society of Home Inspectors), please upload your photos here! Let's learn from the mistakes of others. Let's inform the public about what they need to look out for as a means to keeping safe.
Let's show how property owners can make their properties safer, by AVOIDING the kinds of things shown in this forum.

IF YOU HAVE or SEE A PORCH THAT LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THESE, REPORT IT TO YOUR LOCAL BUILDING DEPARTMENT. SUPPLY PHOTOS AND AN ADDRESS.

Please tag your photos and include descriptions of what is wrong (if it's not obvious). No retouched/fake photo images. Just real situations. Please don't post copyrighted photos from others. Forum will be moderated. Thanks !
