17 Awful, Terrible, Horrible Home And Building "Renovations" That Prove That Sometimes, You Really Should Just Call A Professional

Side-eyeing my own house RN... View Entire Post ›

It feels like our world is hanging in the balance...but not as much as some of these homes from r/CrappyDesign and r/DiWHY. I hope these make you feel a little more stable — relatively.

1.I've always wanted to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa:

2.Just don't move the ladder:

...Oh, crap!:

4.Houseboat? Housedeck:

5.Hmmm, what are your options here:

Bathroom with limited space, showing a toilet, sink, and trash can. The small size makes movement challenging

6.The latch for this gate is unhinged (no pun intended) but kind of amazing:

7.You're in for the worst game of peek-a-boo of your life:

Door with rectangular window showing a view of a showerhead in a bathroom

8.Some things are better left undiscovered:

Wooden blocks and a metal strap support a concrete pier under a house; plastic-wrapped insulation is visible around them

9.Avoid the stairs after dark (or after a drink):

Stairs with uneven step height leading to a carpeted room, featuring a mounted TV and a fire extinguisher on the wall

10.This could not possibly end well:

Door with a latch system and floor vent circled. Potential DIY project or home improvement focus

11.This poor house from 1690 who didn't know it would one day be incised for an ATM:

Traditional half-timbered building with ATM installed on its exterior wall. The door and windows feature decorative designs

12.Why buy wood spacers when you've got a bunch of spare washers lying around:

A wooden plank with screws and nails protruding through it, and washers stacked on top, suggesting makeshift or improvised carpentry

13.A whole mess and a half:

A cluttered garage corner with hanging jackets, a hat, exposed brick walls, cables, and various stored items

14.This lightpost is about as stable as I feel some days:

Support beam awkwardly attached to a wall with an unsecured brick, highlighting unusual construction methods

15.So is this balcony held up by two chopsticks and a dream:

A rooftop deck with a satellite dish is built atop wooden supports, extending from a house. A garden and shed are visible in the background

16.There HAD to be a better way to do this...

Bathroom with frosted window, glass shower door, towel rack, and soap dispenser on the windowsill, creating a clean and organized space

17.And finally, a classic toilet-where-it-shouldn't-be from r/Weird:

Toilet awkwardly installed in a kitchen, surrounded by typical kitchen items like dishes and a sink

I have been an appraiser for 10 years – these 6 upgrades immediately tank resale value

After a decade of walking through other people's homes with a clipboard and a tape measure, I've learned that good taste and good resale value are not the same thing. Homeowners often assume that spending more money automatically means their house is worth more, but appraisals don't work that way. Value comes from comparable sales, buyer demand, and how a home fits the expectations of its neighborhood, not from how much love or money went into a...

Homeowners secretly hate these 11 bathroom choices – do you have any of them?

Every bathroom remodel starts with big dreams, glossy magazine photos, and a Pinterest board full of inspiration. Yet years later, a surprising number of homeowners quietly admit they regret some of the choices they made. Contractors, real estate agents, and interior designers hear these complaints all the time, and the same culprits keep coming up again and again. Some of these choices look stunning in photos but fall apart in daily life, while...

34 times fans asked for photos at the worst possible moment

Fame may have its perks, but privacy is often not one of them. Once your face becomes recognizable, even a quick trip to the store can turn into an unexpected selfie request.
