If this is from your home inspection, run like hell, if this is your house and those plumbers where just there get an attorney the fix is on them and will be expensive, if this is a flip then it seems about right.

Y’all are crazy. Yes plumber is an idiot but insert a $150 steel post and you’re done.

Another redditor would be willing to trade some nice support logs for that post.

But seriously, does anyone have instructions on how to season logs to use? My great grandfather used to make and sell timber with the bark and made it in Seattle out of his lean-to where he lived off of the side of a school. I know some of his wood is still being used on houses near that school. We don’t know how he killed off and kept bugs out of the bark so well.

I gotta get me a couple of those structural tree trunks for my place.
