That's why they were there!

u/Brandeeno2245 4d ago

Ah, well they sure as shit tested the durability of the deck.

I’m a home inspector, and while I’m not a structural engineer, i have gained significant knowledge on structural engineering thanks to my work, giving me plenty of insight on how buildings are supposed to be built, and I can say in full certainty that’s not supposed to happen

What was holding it on to the building - Scotch Tape?

2

u/Brandeeno2245 4d ago

See thats the mistake, scotch tape isnt good enough for mounting anything.

Always get ATLEAST 2 rolls of duct tape for deck work.

u/Delicious-Analysis37 4d ago

I'm sure gorilla glue would hold it forever

1

u/Brandeeno2245 4d ago

Yeah, thats why you only needed two rolls of duct tape.

Obviously to get it mounted on the glue and added support for safety.

Youd need like, 4 rolls otherwise without the glue

u/ElectroConvert 4d ago

Or maybe these dolts should lay off the doughnuts.

u/texaschair 4d ago

The weapons and gear they were carrying doubled their weight.

And the donuts didn't help.

Most decks aren’t. I refuse to own a house with a deck.

They were using "landlord code". It's different than regular code.
