Booby trap?

Nice one.

The house has been jacked up, possibly moved, and set on a new foundation? If so, the job isn't quite finished.

Any chance that is a small chimney ( I am not sure of the size/scale of it) without a base?:eek: Also is that an old piece of BX that ends with a wire coming out of it?

[Luc V. L.]

Yeah, it's BX. No sign of the place being lifted. The chimney was cased in within the home and was disassembled to below the roofline. I couldn't tell how the chimney structure was supporting itself from collapse. Certainly wasn't the 3/4" ply hangers & 2x alone.
