House is Jacked!

Screw jacks are common in homes. Just because you see one doesn't mean your house is broke. This particular one in its current state seems like a temporary solution before the house is reinforced. Unfortunately this was supposed to be a permanent solution. Two things need to be done for this to be acceptable. 1. Every hole at the top of the jack needs to have a nail in it so it doesn't shift. (As its doing.) 2. This jack needs a permanent base so it doesn't sink. (As its doing.)

Metalling with two different metals.

Unfortunately this is very common. New copper piping was added to old plumbing pipes causing Electrolytic Corrosion. This happens when two dissimilar metals are connected to each other with the presence of water. The result is corrosion at a rapid pace causing leaks. These two pipes need a coupling to connect the two, like a plastic, dielectric connector.

Space...Your Final Front Door.

This door on the building has huge spacing issues. Typically anything higher than 3 steps or 24" to 30" from the ground needs a handrail but what this stoop needs is balusters. (The vertical poles in the railing.) The balusters should also not exceed 4" to keep children from slipping through. Someone can easily fall through these openings and cause serious injury or even death.
