AHI in AR Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 That's the igniter for explosives placed there by the owner in the event of non-payment by the buyer/tenant.* *Or if it's a grow-op and it's getting raided. Seriously though...a larger "establishing shot" would be helpful. This looks like an exterior sidewalk or similar. Any chance there's some sort of pump under that concrete to get rid of excess water?

Phillip Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 it is a poorly poured drive that ends beside the house. It looks like it was added after the house was built. I don't have a better shot. it goes to the right of the house down the hill. Click to Enlarge 90.8 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 No evidence of a previous structure that may have on or near that slab before? Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bain Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Some sort of ice melt thingie? That settles it: I'm moving to Alabama to sell de-icing equipment. Well . . . look who decided he didn't want to try nice, after all. The photo's slightly out of focus, and I can't appreciate anything about the white gizmo. Can you tell us anything about it, Phillip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Souter Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Often times homeowners will use any type of fill they can to stretch the concrete. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Any wild guess? Obviously, it's one of several data-logging temperature sensors placed in the slab by the project's engineering firm. They used the temperature readings to verify that the slab remained within standard temperature parameters during the initial cure to ensure proper hydration and to achieve the required design strength. - Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I think Rick nailed it, it's an old appliance of some kind used for fill. Now the question is, what was in that freezer? [?] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspectorjoe Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 The white thing looks like a T12 fluorescent lamp holder, but I've never seen one with two white wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Raymond Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 My guess was pool light until he said it was a driveway. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 The white thing looks like a T12 fluorescent lamp holder, but I've never seen one with two white wires. There is two more white wires you cannot see. They are on the back side of the white thing and run into the ground. There where no out door lighting and it was what I would call a parking area for a boat. I told my client that I had no ideal what it was and told him he may want check with the owner or the builder since the bank owns it.
