I don’t think I have to tell you that home renovations are stressful endeavors. You never know what might go wrong or whether that simple job could double in price. So it’s best to be prepared for anything and everything.
Sadly, these homeowners were caught off guard and paid dearly for it. These examples here are the epitome of renovation jobs gone wrong.

Whoa! Just what do we have here? Why would anybody think this was at all acceptable is pretty baffling and funny at the same time. How would you feel if somebody did this to your front porch?

When your boss asks you to install a ceiling fan, I hope this isn’t how you plan on doing it. I can tell you right now that this wouldn’t pass the smell test in my home. No, sir.

Oh my goodness. This is probably the most creative way to install a toilet I have ever seen. I guess there’s only one way to use it, and that would be to do number one. Good luck trying to do anything else here.

Word to the wise, when you work on something, make sure you first turn the water off, especially when you take off for the night. I guess somebody forgot that important fact here, huh? Nice! I’m being sarcastic, of course.
