Carpet Follies

My son bought his first house, so I went up to give him a hand moving some of his stuff. While we were moving we took the opportunity to remove a couple of electric baseboard heaters.

I have seen many weird things in the years I have been remodeling, some good, some bad and the occasionally downright lunatic. This falls into that category.
Carpetfollies
This is the wall behind one of the baseboard heaters. The red and black shag is the previous carpet. They just ran the carpet up to the heater and stopped. There were 4 screws holding the heater to the wall.  The carpet installers must not own a screwdriver. But then having one's head filled with 'fuzzy side up', probably accounts for it.

Ha! Looks like something that might have happened in OUR house. :)
