Deciding to renovate or fix up your house can turn out to be a monumental and expensive task. If things go wrong, it’ll end up costing you more time, money and of course, your sanity. That’s why it’s probably best to hire reputable professionals to do the job, and to avoid cutting corners at all costs. Nevertheless, some people still insist on finding someone that can “do it cheaper”. Sometimes, they even choose to do it themselves, despite having no clue how to even build a gingerbread house.
If you need inspiration on why to not be like them, look no further than the ConstrucVdo IV Facebook Page. It’s a wall of hilarious, mind-boggling construction fails that we hope you'll never have to encounter in person. Bored Panda has picked the most painful posts from the page. You'll be forgiven for not being able to figure out what's going on in some of these bizarre pictures.

Should have to attached it to the studs. This is not a job for simple drywall anchors.

I cut out the drywall, put in a 3/4 inch piece of plywood, cemented to the block wall behind and replaced the drywall. Large TV, no problem.

🤮. Half the counter and a proper toilet. Squat toilets quick me out. Especially this setup

Took me a moment to work out that he was a reflection, not a creepy man outside the window.

I understand the temptation to do this. Worked on the pipes last night.

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape.

These are ugly and look scary, but they are a solution, not a fail. If you only have room for a very steep staircase, building an alternate tread one like this allows you to walk up and down the stairs like normal (other than the same foot always goes on the same step.

Seems like it would've taken far less effort to just cut the door...(and prevent a tripping hazard)

Japanese style - separate bathing room and toilet room. The bathing room is “furo" (お風呂). The toilet room is “otearai" (お手洗い) or "toire" (トイレ).

My temptation on so many of these blatantly horrible ones is to just write “seems fine” 😂. However, when I did that in the past I got downvoted, even on ones that my sarcasm seemed obvious! 🫠

Oh, you tempted me to downvote your comment, just to be a wise-@ss! I absolutely know the feeling of sarcasm not being "gotten".

Apparently someone replied to a comment I made but it was to a high numbered entry so I can’t see what the reply is!

So many of these are obvious works in progress, temporary stabilizing repairs, or "make the best of it" compromises. They're interesting, but very few qualify as "fails". Many if not most are the opposite - creative solutions to problems that cropped up. Even the ones that seem stupid make me think "why?", not "dumb".
