That might be a cantilever deck, with those joists on the bottom going into the house. Still, it looks like the joists would go the other way on a house that narrow.

kid sinister posted:Both locations need GFCI protection. Back when GFCIs were expensive and cable was cheap, they'd run circuits like that. Part of that is still in the book too. All bathrooms and no other rooms are allowed to share one circuit for outlets only. That way, the first outlet on that circuit branch can be a GFCI and protect all the others. If that GFCI trips for the first time and this house has several bathrooms, you might have to do a bit of searching around the house to find the GFCI. everything relevant is getting AFCI/GFCI breakers. it's Clear Lake, CA

the heat pump is an old York 2-piece system with an air handler in the "basement" (is there a term for an enclosed crawlspace that's 4 feet tall on one end and like 15 feet tall on the other?). I wasn't able to test it because though the air handler is wired up, the breaker from the outside unit subpanel's been removed pending further electrical work. the water heater isn't strapped to anything and says Montgomery Ward on it the security light has an orange extension cord permanently installed through the wall the ceiling fan is wired with a homemade romex "cord" running alllll the way down from the ceiling into an outlet, with plugs on both ends when the water guy came by to figure out where to send my dad's bill I heard him say "yeah the guys working on this before were definitely not professionals at all"

 The dramatic conclusion (for now) on the patio of doom. My dad came over with a much beefier jack where it wasn't squirrelly at all once loaded, we pulled the 4x4's out one at a time and added their little feet in the rain. Thankfully now I have outdoor GFCI outlets, not that the miter saw nor the hammer drill have grounded cords. Turns out one of the posts has a significant twist to it neither of us noticed until putting on the anchor. We then decided to hang the new baby swing which comes with no hanging instructions or mounting hardware by 2 deck screws ran in several mm using the countersunk head as the bump stop. I'm going to email them this picture and ask if it is done correctly. Until next time crappy construction thread!

You didn't want to get some eye bolts to hang the swing so your kid doesn't break their leg? At least you are self aware enough to post here.

We opened the box expecting to find some eye bolts, none were had, not even a description of the correct ones to get. It was taken down after the picture.

I finally realized it was carpet though, and instead kept nervously waiting for the guy fixing the leak to make contact with something electrical and go limp

Is there anything wrong with hanging a swing from a patio joist which presumably isn't designed for shear loads? Please say yes so my dad doesn't have to install the one my mum wants him to.
