Fastened to Nothing
What do you do when you purchased one too many nuts and bolts while building a home? Find a random block of wood, drill a hole through it, and fasten a nut and bolt to it. That’s exactly what this person did, and they left it in the basement for some poor home inspector to discover.
As you can clearly see, the nut and bolt running through the block of wood serve no purpose at all. It’s not keeping anything anchored to anything, so why go through the trouble? Even if it were connecting the wooden board to the brick underneath, it does absolutely nothing.
