Meet "Harry" the Home Owner

By
Home Inspector with DeSoto Home Inspection Services

Sometimes I just have to stop and think about things for a moment. Lets see, why would Harry come up with something like this? He apparently lost his old vent cap to the wind. Maybe he found it laying in the yard and figured he could just make a new one himself. He took an old coffee can punched some holes in the top of it and slid it onto his gas flue pipe, which fit pretty snug by the way.

However by punching holes in the top of his can rain water would enter through the holes and rust out his heating and air unit. He may have prolonged the life of his heating and air unit if he would have punched the holes in the side of his coffee can.

Frank, don't give Harry any more ideas. I hate following him around all day. But, he does make me laugh sometimes. How ya doin' buddy?
