50 Construction Fails That Are Both Upsetting And Hilarious

This has to be faked up. Look at the awful plasterboard cutting. I refuse to believe this is real.

That would warm you up in the morning.

In John Travolta Grease voice, It’s Electrifying!

For the cleanest power ever... just call....

Just...wow...

"Can I have that shirt if you fall?"

If this man lost his footing, what do the guys hanging onto the top of his shirt actually think they’re going to do? Undress him for his fall?

at least, one is wearing a helmet

As he fell off the building, Harold expressed his deep regret for buying those shirts from Temu

Natural selection

That deck is starting to bow...

If this is not shopped and exists in tangible form somewhere, it's a virtual certainty that it's a stone veneer, not solid stone. The image is at least 2 years old, and it's popped up and been making the rounds of social media for the last month. I couldn't find anything resembling an original source.

Just need to add a hot tub up there and you're all set for the winter

Do I see that deck bedning ever so slightly?!

Somehow, I think, this started as a good idea. Like, wouldn't it be great to have a fireplace out on the deck?" But, in execution, oops...

🙀

Resist the temptation to run away. Walk away, briskly, without looking back and without stopping to retrieve personal belongings.

Creativity, thinking outside the box, certain death. 💀

Who is trying to burn the place down?

How to make an electrical fire look accidental.

Yup, that's load bearing drywall!

Yeah but...is the floor ok?

there's this great thing called studs. they are like, part of your wall. you can mount things on them

8 screws, and they all miss the studs.

Americans and their paper houses.

Winter fun.

This one has been around for ages. If memory serves, the fault was on the owners, not the builder/engineer. The house was supposed to be set further back on the property, which would allow for a more gentle slope on the driveway, but the family decided they wanted more back yard space. (I think they wanted to put a pool in, or something similar.) So they told the builder to move the house forward on the property. The big issue being in that area, a sidewalk must cross the driveway at grade (IE flat), and this was the only way they could achieve that and stay within the buyer's requested changes.

I've seen this image quite a few times, and it is stated to have been shopped. The house is at 5028 New Bridge Fd Fayetteville Arkansas, and the driveway is nowhere near this steep. https://www.contractortalk.com/threads/the-wall-of-shame.118495/page-278

Skateboarder’s dream

I doubt that a vehicle could get over the garage entrance without bottoming out!

Looks like a small water leak behind a really high quality latex paint job.

That wall has balls…
