Charlotte Home Inspector Preston Sandlin was inspecting a home in the Dilworth section of Charlotte NC when he noticed an improper repair.  If you look closely at the picture you can see that the back band sill has been replaced.  They had to cut the joists because they ran perpendicular to the band sill.  When they resupported  the joists they just used 2x4's.  This isn't strong enough to support the house.

Nice Title!

Reminds me of a tenant that was present at an inspection.  When noting previous repairs, the tenant added a comment that none of the repairs were performed without a 30-pack.
