I hope this is fake somehow, otherwise Steve has put his own house on the verge of collapse. And if it happens, she won't remember complaining about the unsightly pipes running under the joists.

The pictures real, the caption is almost definitely bullshit tho.

One of them would have explained why you don't cut a floor joist

Yeah I got that feeling too based on the premise of someone complaining about:

  1. Something they've almost certainly never seen.
  2. Nobody else will likely ever see, save for hired pros.

But if we're right about the photo being real, someone has a huge problem.

I wonder what the thinking was as whomever embarked on this project. I suppose not much, beyond "must make neat plumbing install".

Some people are known to think with their dick, and some are simply dicks in general, but every once in a while we see one of these poor bastards pop up, where a routine circumcision has removed the brain entirely.

Every so often you find a subcontractor who follows what they see on the blueprints exactly

That is very wrong but at the bare minimum they could have installed steel brackets to put back some of the strenght, if the notion of using a hole saw evaded them.

Or why not some like... just some bands to attach the pipes under the supports.

Nah, then the pipes would be too close to the ground. They might get dirty.
