Fill 'er up !
This post can go in either electrical or plumbing ... OR maybe just "stupid".

Obviously someone, somewhere was not thinking.

Custom home on 1-1/2 acres, bank repo, actually in excellent shape. Buyer is getting one heckuva deal.

Re: Fill 'er up !
I think that is one of those times when the electrician and the plumber refused to budge on who was going to blink

I came across a chimney in an attic once that the brick mason (and I use that word loosely) actually built the chimney outer course over and around an air conditioning duct that was in his way. (no it was not part of a heatilator system) This house was over ten years old and was built and left that way. I could just imagine the cussing and discussin that was going on during construction.

Some times you just have to shake your head and walk away

Re: Fill 'er up !
As a side note to that joke of an installation: Those lampholders are designed to be installed and used base horizontal to base up.

I.e., the lamp horizontal to lamp down.

That would have been great as a teen filling up those water balloons at midnight.

It's so you can see to hook up the hose at night when you want to soak the yard to find night crawlers.

Re: Fill 'er up !
This was inevitable being as Texas now allows plumbers to legally perform electrical installations . . .

What's next?

The hose faucet didn't work it was just decoration, since the electrician cut the pipe off in the wall.
