3YR OLD HOUSE WITH STRUCTURAL ISSUES

I see some crazy things from time to time and I came across this house and I had to share with you what I saw and I am surprised the county did not catch this and or let it go. The floor joist and sill plate on an exterior wall was cut and altered by the heating contractor to allow for the duct work and gas pipe. The fix two 4×4 post on either side of the cut floor joist. The post were not properly attached and or anchored to the floor all it would take is a minor bump and it would cause the posts to dislodge and cause damage. We had a structural engineer evaluate the property and he was just as surprised as I was to see this kind of handy work. I won’t tell you what the repair cost to the seller was but lets just say it was a pretty penny.
