30 Unbelievable Renovation Fails You Won’t Believe Actually Happened

One of the saddest sights in the world is witnessing the aftermath of someone who really, really tried to do a great job, but just couldn't quite cut the mustard. Sometimes, their error is so obvious that you wonder if they actually knew what they were supposed to be doing. Other times, the mistake they made is one that you could have easily made yourself. 1. Joke’s on you! The neighbors actually have a flying car, and thus no need for a driveway that smoothly goes into the garage. Psssh, tires are sooooo 2015. 2. When you NEVER consult an architecture specialist, this is the type of home renovation you’re bound to get. Did it never occur to them to match their exteriors?? 3. Sometimes when you don’t measure, it gives you the perfect opportunity to improvise on the fly. The new homeowners will never notice, right? 4. The challenge is that each year the tree becomes more difficult to get around. By the time the kids are all grown up, they’ll barely be able to get in and out of the garage. It’s just a natural deterrent to stop them from going out and partying. Clever parenting technique. 5. Sitting on the throne just got a whole lot more interesting. Maybe steer your guests away from using this bathroom though…? 6. I mean, I’m no professional, but even my untrained eye can see how godawful crooked the tiling and rug are. Get it together, people! 7. It’s perfect for my 3-year-old self and a literal headache for my adult self. Do better, construction guys. 8. This is the perfect way to use one light to illuminate two rooms. Unfortunately, once the light burns out, you have darkness forever in both rooms. 9. These guys needed to get clever after blocking the door with bricks, which probably have the same IQ as the guys who installed this. 10. Family mealtime is the perfect time for bonding, and what better way to REALLY bond with your loved ones than by using the bathroom while you all eat?! 11. Are you a fan of home renovation fails? Clearly, these guys were! They just wanted a spot on this illustrious list! 12. They were so close to getting this door stop to actually be useful! Do people actually measure anymore? Or are we just making educated guesses from here on out? 13. Well, look at it this way: At least this driveway will be super fun when it snows! You’ll never be able to get your car in and out without denting the front or back, but your sledding game is going to be super strong. 14. We’re not quite sure what’s on the other side of that door. If it’s another room in the house, maybe this is a great way to save on heating bills! If it’s the outside, well, this certainly explains that whole “global warming” thing. 15. Ohhhhh, these guys almost nailed it on replacing these windows. Really looks like they were just slightly off on their measurements. Can barely notice… 16. Ugh, there’s just WAY too much light coming through the window. Solution? Well apparently just make the window smaller by adding on some bricks. Choosing the perfect curtains is too hard anyway. 17. Of course, you need all your amenities in a localized place. In this case, you can wash your hands while charging your phone! The possibilities are endless. 18. This may not have been on purpose, but hey, decor really brings a room together. It’s all about the trick of the light! 19. Ok, I see the ambition. Who doesn’t want their own hot tub t0 relax in after a long day’s work? The daily grind must’ve killed some brain cells, because thinking that deck could support a jacuzzi, is just plain stupid. 20. What a nice idea, adding a fresh coat of paint to the roof. But next time, this painter should come up with a strategy to not paint himself into a corner. 21. Oooo so close, but just not close enough. Folks, this is where both measurement tapes and common sense come in handy. 22. As if not being allowed to have a lock on your door weren’t bad enough! A step further – the handle was placed so perfectly that the door can’t even close. This definitely required some skill. 23. This could’ve been artistically inspired by ‘The Leaning Tower of Pisa.’ But if a slanted house wasn’t the original intent, you can just tilt your head to the right a few degrees and it looks about normal… 24. It’s kind of like a piece of abstract art. You don’t really know what you’re looking at, but you take a picture of it anyway so you can post it on Instagram and seem all artsy and stuff. 25. This garage door is perfect…for motorcycles and bicycles and really anything that’s not a car. 26. Ever hear of the squatty potty? This one is pretty literal, as using it requires some serious squatting and flexibility. 27.Making an addition to a house can be quite the task. As to what this addition is supposed to be…your guess is as good as mine. 28. This is actually pretty great if you like messing around with house guests. While they’re inside searching frantically for the toilet paper, you’ll be chuckling at your mischievous design methods. 29. Whoever designed this toilet was definitely half-assing it… 30. When you don’t want too much sink space taking up the bathroom, you just make the sink smaller. As for the faucet? It’s like playing a game every time you turn it on. Move the handle a little too much to the right and you’ve got a flood zone. Credits: definition.org
