That's not the worst cludge I've ever seen, but it's good and stupid alright.
But imagine, won't you, an electrical outlet box attached with directly to the oven's gas line. The outlet was for the microwave. My friend no longer lives in that condo lol
Ah yes. Load bearing connector box.
Couldn't even bother to level the blocks 🙄 smh.
The stupider part is that it would be easier to stack out from the other direction.
There are 8 pieces of wood @ 1.5" each = 12" Studs are 16" on center.
So to stack from the right would be 2 pieces to be in the same place.
You can even see the gray box that opens to the wall behind it. That is attached to the stud on the right...its that close. But here I go applying logic to crazy.
But the gray box is in the way of that solution.
My house is over 30 years old, and the studs are 24" apart. Frustrating when I need to hang things built for 16". 😭
Your house is incorrect. 16" on-center wall studs have been a thing for way more than 30 years.
24" on-center wall studs aren't uncommon in building practices today
Most residential interior walls are 16"
If their house is single-story, then 24" would fit in a lot of local building codes.
My great grandfather built a punch of apartment complexes back in the 70s, if their house is anything like those well... standardly annoying is the words that come to mind.
It hurts to even read that. I can't even imagine your frustration.
Or just put the box 4" to the right, directly on the stud. Why on earth they thought it had to be exactly where it is is beyond me.
It's okay, they're using that special load-bearing drywall.
NEC 314.23(B) An enclosure supported from a structural member ... shall be rigidly supported either directly or by using a ... or wood brace
NEC 314.23(B)(2) ... Wood braces shall have a cross section not less than 1"x2"
This is fine. I'm not an electrician and don't know what that is securing the romex but I assume that's approved.
I mean I guess if the inspector wants they could deny it for not being "neat and workmanlike" but they'd have to really be an asshole. Like it's weird but it's not going anywhere, not like a switch is a heavy piece of equipment. This would probably even be fine for a light.
