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.

    Reminds me of the bathroom from the bootcamp scene in Stanley Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket” (1987)

    Appears to be a commercial property as a banner is over the top of the wall, so it's probably meant to be 'quirky'.

    Witch's window, from an old superstition that witches can fly through crooked windows. At least, that would be what I thought it was, if the three normal windows hadn't defeated the purpose.

    No, it makes sense. If all the windows were crooked, we'd think thatnthey should look this way. When only one is crooked, the witch knkws that she can fly through this one. How sweet of them

    The spirit level drank a few too many spirits when that one was installed.

    That had to be in the plans. Too much thinking to mess that up.

    Unrelated, but does anyone else have a spinning right angle in the middle of their screen whenever on BP?

    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.

    I could be wrong but I think there is a metal pole inside which is the structural element holding up the riif and the bricks are just decoration.

    The only plausible reason I can think of, is that this was done for a person who is infirm, or prone to passing out.

    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).

    The level of the floor or the safety of the section of stairs had to be modified. Ths is easier than wrecking and rebuilding the current staircase.

    Use it for seating, plants, sculptures, shoes, books, it's quite odd but not completely useless space.

    This seems like owner laziness, not construction fail.

    I'm guessing this was assembled on dry land then moved into this position. They should have laid the footings on either side before putting it in place. That center crosspiece is probably to make sure the sides stay in place until finished.

    Given the mobility aids, I'm guessing this was a makeshift renovation to get a shower in an accessible place in the house. Like a lot of houses, their original full bath was probably on the second floor that they couldn't safely get to anymore.
