The horrible workmanship thread
 

This thread is intended as a fun / blow off steam thread for horrible workmanship you find while doing home improvements. We've all run into it. So, post your own finds!

5" duct from the furnace into the space between the basement ceiling and the upstairs floor. they removed the rest of the pipe when they put the ceiling up but never bothered to close off the ductwork so the majority of my heating/cooling got dumped into that space...

Wooo, easy 'in floor heating' haha. :)
