The pandemic has turned us all into make-it-yourselfers, more or less. And while most of us have had our inspo put into practice either by trying a recipe that under normal circumstances we’d never dare to challenge, or making a nesting box, others set out on way more elaborate endeavors. As a result, there was an unprecedented boom in homeowners with days that have been ruined beyond repair.
The reasons for this curious phenomenon can be traced back to the seemingly innocent urge for renovation. After all, we all spent a shamelessly huge amount of time in the comfort of our homes that became the target of our idle hands.
Fast forward to today and we now have quite a solid collection of pics that document these home disasters. Thanks to the corner of Reddit known as “Well That Sucks” that has a whopping 2.6M members, we have a lot to learn from what not to do with our home, shelter, rented flat, Airbnb, roof, ‘cause… well, the pics speak for themselves.
Psst! Part 1 with more homeowners having a pretty bad day await right here.

The View Of My Balcony Before And After They Removed A Tree

Noooooo. That is tragic. I once had a landlord cut down all of the giant bushes in front of our windows without telling us. In theory, he was going to "paint the house." Front room felt like a fishbowl as everyone on the sidewalk could see straight in. I moved out two years later. House was never painted.

Bored Panda spoke with Philippa Main, the professional realtor from Tampa Bay who went viral for her brilliant and insanely funny listing description about “the worst house on the street” eight months ago. Philippa was happy to share some insights into home improvement and renovation projects, as well as shared some very useful advice with our readers.
“During the pandemic, people started a lot of smaller home improvement projects they could tackle themselves that may or may not have gone according to plan. Either way, now people are turning to hiring professionals whenever they can, because post-pandemic they either realized they don’t have the time—or the skills—to do the job right themselves,” Philippa said.

Unfortunately, a lot of people who waited to have work done on their homes (either for budget reasons or for fear of having people into their homes during the pandemic) are now finding that the cost of their projects has gone up 20% - 50% and that quoted estimates are only valid for a few days before price increases take effect.”
Philippa added that this is down to reduced supplies, reduced skilled laborers to perform the work (which was happening before the pandemic), and increased demand.

Depending on the sale, you dont always need one. People sell "as is" to avoid it, plus its expensive so buyers dont always do one on their own. The thing that kills me is how things they can still miss. Friends bought a house w/ well water. Inspector missed that it wasnt deep enough & piping to house was shot. Spent their 1st yr running out of water & destroying their yard to fix it. Then still had issues. Ended up taking a loan from dad, selling, & buying another place. They got lucky too. Not everyone has a dad with money to share...

the room should have had some sort of lighting, not just relying on lamps. I used to clean furnaces and some New Expensive houses would have the cold air return in the second floor just for show. Its NEEDED and all it was was a hole in the wall and not connected to the furnace
The professional realtor urges anyone who's thinking of renovating to “not cut corners just because they think it will be ok or because it’s fine for them. They should look at it as if they were selling their home and a picky buyer was coming through to look at it,” she said and added: “Because I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had a client love a home, but ultimately not submit an offer on it because so many DIY projects were done so poorly that it made them question whether there would be actual major issues with the home.”

In Florida we get a lot of violent storm activity during the summer months, and so we have the tree service trim out branches from the larger oaks every other year in order to make them more aerodynamically stable for this very reason.

Instead of buying a new refrigerator with a different style door (an easy, affordable fix), the homeowner cut open the wall into the adjoining bedroom.”
She continued: “He then built a floor-to-ceiling semi-circle-shaped alcove for the door to recess into that took away essentially a third of the usable space in the bedroom just so he could open his refrigerator.” It turns out, "it looked ridiculous, took away from the functionality of the house, and left me and my client extremely confused. So even though the rest of the home had a lot to offer, she passed on it.”

Alternative take: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson decide to go on a camping trip. After dinner and a bottle of wine, they lay down for the night, and go to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see." Watson replied, "I see millions of stars." "What does that tell you?" Watson pondered for a minute. "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets." "Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo." "Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three." "Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant." "Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow." "What does it tell you, Holmes?" Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke: "Watson, you idiot. Someone has stolen our tent!"

I've had this happen. It depends on the reason for the fall. If the tree fell from an act of nature (ie a storm), then the owner of the house is responsible for damages. If the tree fell because it was an old tree an had been dying -- as in, this was a matter of "when", not "if" -- the the owner of the tree is responsible. It may vary from state to state, but I'm certain that this is the process in MOST states.

It might actually be okay if they don't turn it on or plug it in for a few days. The cover looks like it might have protected the electronics.
Robert T 4 years ago
With the lid closed it looks like almost all the water ran off, and it doesn't look like it got too deep on the table. Dry it off with a towel and put it somewhere warm for a bit before you try to use it. Even if it is dead, you should still be able to get the data off it.

Neighbor's 12yo Grandkid Decided To Sneak In The Car And Take A Joyride. Freaked Out, Hit The Gas, And Crossed Their Lawn And Mine To Hit The Front Of My House
September Meadows 4 years ago
Believe it or not, my two brothers managed to do this when they were 4 and 2 years old. 4 year old (very observant and too smart for his own good) watches how my mom drives, takes the keys, gets into a locked car, starts it gets it into drive (was an automatic) has my 2 year brother sit on the floor of the car and push the gas. They drive out of the driveway, across the street, through the neighbors lawn, up seven steps, across a very nicely appointed front patio and pretty much accomplished the same kind of damage as in OP's pic. No one was hurt. Everyone was astonished.

The vinegar smell will be gone in a day or less and you will still find oil leading out from under things, just place towels around the baseboards. Or move.

This Happened To My Mom's Room At 3 In The Morning

Drywall is layer of fine-textured paper, a layer of gypsum plaster (which varies in thickness depending on the application and may or may not be reinforced with glass fibers or other fillers) with a layer of coarse paper on the backside. It's been a standard building material for 70 years or so.

My Ac Exploded On A Recording Breaking Heat Wave In Oregon
KatHat 4 years ago
There's going to be more and more of this sort of thing. We built the world for one climate and now we have a different one. Things can't cope (and nor can people, in some of the more extreme areas).
M O'Connell 4 years ago
The fact that the AC was running for an extended period has nothing to do with this failure. Corrosion of the contacts inside the disconnect switch caused high electrical resistance, which lead to the contacts themselves melting, and the arc which resulted from them separating caused the fiery bit.

It's certainly not the neatest job ever, but the only real problem I see is the two unused wires which are not capped. It's odd to use a central position as the main disconnect, but as long as it is properly marked in the cover of the panel, it's fine. Having two wires terminated to a single circuit breaker is also just fine, as they are designed for it. Shared earth and neutral is permitted in a sub-panel if that panel was installed prior to 2008 and has a three-wire feed, which this one appears to be.
M O'Connell 4 years ago
Technically this is perfectly safe, though a safer arrangement would be with a 4-wire feed from the main panel, and neutral being isolated from ground.

What I find most disturbing is that pierced wire top center. Then the overlaps when he could easily put the breakers in so the wires don't crisscross.

Unclogging The Sink Drain
Your Cousin Vinny 4 years ago
CORRECTION - I just watched the Old Reddit video that is linked with this post. The water does drain all the way so the product did work. The screen capture is misleading. Nevertheless, the mess that's created is much worse than what's shown on the picture. So he did have a worse day than me.
Isabel Care 4 years ago
I used a similar gadget, having first covered the overflow. Found that the back of the overflow was broken. Council repair guy said it was a" design feature to let out excess pressure". Not a moron, it was broken and matched the broken plumbing under the bath (leaked for months before the lady in the bottom flat asked me to tell the drug addict in the flat between us that he had a leak... he told me my bathroom leak had been running down his wall for over a month) and the too small fitting for the outflow of the loo, filled with a soft sealant (that didn't seal it). New bathroom had to be fitted properly and the sink replaced. Council pay for the cheapest work and get what they pay for

You've obviously never seen inside of a drain before. Unless it's brand spanking new, this is how every drain in your house looks. Kitchen sink, bathroom sink, shower/tub, this is it. Buy one of those long drain hair removers (can get them at the dollar store, as well as Walmart and any home improvement store,) stick it down one of your bathroom drains, and be amazed at the gunk and amount of hair that comes out. My shower wasn't draining properly, and after 15 years of having super long hair, I used one of those things in the shower drain, literally pulled out a 4-5' long black, goopy, stinky, hairy, repulsive, beast. I've got pictures of it somewhere, that sucker was impressive!

I don't think I own anything else but glass pans. They work well and I've never had one shatter in the oven. I've also dropped one pan two times and broke a plate but the pan was fine (I am very clumsy). I did throw that pan away anyway because it would have shattered eventually from damage I probably couldn't see.
