I appreciate a creative use of scrap lumber as much as the next person, but jeez. I'm getting tired of floating sistered joists and framing.

I'm glad they found that and (hopefully) rectified it! Surprise reno and remodels are never much fun.

Terrifying wiring mistakes too, the type that make your hair stand on end

This particular turn of phrase has me in stitches, well done!

Omg, haha. I didn't even realize the unintended pun xD

And yes, they are now properly wiring and insulating their house and oven :)
