49 Comments on Electricians & Rednecks should NOT do plumbing repairs!
Erby:
All of your photos are very enlightening. It is amazing how so many people think duct tape and drip pans are a cure for everything.
OMG!!! That is hilarious! But I can say in my years working in a rural market...I have seen stuff like this and worse! Thanks for sharing and making me laugh this morning! Fabulous!!!
Erby - But if the guy is a red neck and electrician, then he'd probably know how to make the repair : )
You can fix anythin' with duck tape you hear?., ...
Dude Duct Tape ROCKS! I'm originally from the South so I too have sen just about everything under the sun with duct tape on it. Soesn't surprise me a bit that they would use it for plumbing too.
Great post Erby. Come on, I thought you could fix anything with duct tape!
Erby,
I went into a home one time and we actually negotiated a deal but when we asked them to replace the water heater the listing agent asked why. I asked her if she had seen it and she said no. So I then explained that the top half of this hot water heater was totally encased in duct tape. Then if you push on the tape you can feel the rust give way underneath the duct tape.
Testing, tesitng . . .
The Red Green Show - No Duct Tape
Is that right??
'That is too funny. My brother is a home inspector and he loves when he finds "repairs" such as this.
We have seen this soooo many times. The worst is when we saw duct tape on a crack in the foundation.
Erby, MacGyver would be cringing at that photo...wouldn't he? :)

Dennis: I don't have a clue. Come up with a mechanical addtion!
Tracie: Duct Tape fixes anything, temporarily!
Russel: Wrong! See above. Hey, at least it was a red brush, same one I use on my neck!
Claudette: Glad you enjoyed the photos. It gets people to hang around my website a little longer.
Jeani: We had a good laugh. I'm glad y'all here did too! But I note: You find it in the city too! It's not just the rural areas that fix stuff this way.
John: He did know how. He did it. See the photo above!
Fernando: Yup!
Steven: If you have a quality product like Duct Tape, why the heck do you want to use electrical tape too! Kind of an insult to duct tape, ya know!
Gary: You can. Thanks for stopping by.
Larry: See above. Duct tape fixes ANYTHING!
Carla: You got it RIGHT! Congrats and thanks for coming back and re adding the link. It's a good one.
Diane: I do. Funny though, it was in a fourteen year old cedar sided home in a nice neghborhood. Rest of the house was pretty neat.
Stephanie: It does. You're husband is right, temporarily.
Damon: We do get to see some neat (as in funny, hilarious, uproaring laughter) stuff!
Jerry: Duct tape can fix anything, even a foundation!
Leilani: Nope: He'd be giving them a gold star for their efforts.

Ha HAAA! The omments here have been as funny as the post! I agree that we are (proudly) painted with the same brush and I know I can trust an inspector who uses the term "cockamamie"! Thanks again.
Hey Russell, it's a hilarious topic, ya know. Cockamamie just seemed appropirate for the album title because of what it contains.
Now that was hilarious. I've used duct tape for many fixes but not to this extreme.
I just had to come back and get another laugh at this pic.
