The wrap on the left was on the house, supposedly built in 5/16 and the wrap on the right was on the sunroom supposedly built the same week. Different design and far more wear on the house side.

Brandi and Ty Nelson on their porch with the LDS Temple under construction near their home in Cody, Wyoming May 15, 2025. The Nelsons are going to sell their home and move elsewhere to escape the disruption they think the temple is sure to cause. The Nelsons built their home 23 years ago. “ We were one of the first

houses up here and had the most amazing view,” Brandi Nelson

explained the reasons why she and her husband don’t want to live

next to a the temple that is going to have a 100 ft tall white granite

This door was cut so poorly that OSB and silicone was used to shim it. Water poured in anyway.

Here is where the door was shimmed with OSB and some silicone. Notice how rotted the wood is after supposedly 4 months.

cracked and leaking. One of 4 leaks so far.

this sharp metal conduit is used for wiring all over the house and is sharp enough to cut cardboard without tearing.

Expedience Exemplified

 

The architect designed the old synagogue with four staircases and two front doors, but for whatever reason, it never had a back door. In 1920, before the tragic Cocoanut Grove Fire of 1942 helped establish stringent building codes, it was possible to construct public buildings without rear fire doors.

 

When the building changed hands in the 1970s, the challenge was to cut a door in the brick wall for a rear exit. Since there was already a window at the level of the stair landing, it was easy enough to cut it larger to allow for a door. The job was probably a hurry-up affair; you may still see some of the original arch here.

This sprinkler pipe was completely missing on arrival. The inspector must have missed it too.

This is the work of a saws-all on framing that was modified from another purpose.

Here is the pipe pierced by a 3" nail used to attach molding. This is why you don't use 3" nails for this.

no glue was used in these pipes. Another factory gaffe.

This could not possibly be by design. This appears to be a retrofitted modification.

This mastic and tile pretty much proves that there was a tile floor attached to our sub-floor prior to delivery. We never had a tile floor on our plans here.

This window shows many indications it was a modification of some other construction. OSB and metal would not be used in a normal window frame.

This is the shed, which is also an outhouse. Originally, it was just a little outhouse, and the cabin had no running water. Then water was added, and we only used the outhouse for the winter, because we turned off the water and drained the pipes to keep them from freezing.

 

Then we built the new cabin, and wanted to close the outhouse, but health and zoning codes require several thousand dollars worth of work to fill in the hole, so we expanded the outhouse to be a full shed, and left the toilet in the corner. It still works, just don't try to grope around for your spot in the dark.

A cabinet had to be removed in the kitchen to get to this leak
