The water heater is the best though. I was kinda scrolling slowly down the picture, and with each code violation, thought to myself well, it doesn't get worse than that, only to be proved wrong by something lower down in the picture.

Re: Hack Or Genius


I had to check that website out.

This one was titled "Ceiling Support"





Creativity isn't always a good thing...


At least they got rid of the mud puddle in the lawn....

Re: Hack Or Genius


Angus told me that this was an actual website, and I checked it out with a bunch of laughing out loud.

What I can't figure out about the site is this. I got the impression that some people who posted on that site were actually proud of their "ingenuity".
