35 Construction Solutions That Don’t Solve Problems, Only Create Them, As Shared By This Instagram Account (New Pics)
We are surrounded by design every day in everything we see or do. Whether it’s aesthetically arranged furniture, visually pleasing bathroom tiles, or beautiful yet funky rugs, we instinctively know when designs look good. And we also immediately notice when these ideas look bad, questionable, or plain ugly. We always notice.
You see, while some projects might have looked great on paper, they sometimes get executed in the worst possible way. It might be a result of awful handiwork, lack of communication, or certain shortcuts craftsmen believed they have to make. Whatever the reason, such problematic looks leave the end-users with an overwhelming urge to share their confusion with the world.
Enter the Instagram account called Typical Rykozhop, a place where appalling design and construction decisions made by the hands of less-skilled professionals find their home. Bored Panda has collected some of the most shoddy building and repairing "solutions" from the account, so keep on scrolling and judge for yourself! And if you’re in the mood for some more construction madness, take a look at our previous compilations right here and here.

is that to make that room more spacious or to try to contain the evil spirit of the always angry washing machine?
I mean, if i put towels on it, i won't be able to see myself in the mirror. I see this as an absolute win!
Those don't look like lights; they're cast from somewhere else, maybe sun through a screen?
Seen this many times following cowboys in UK. This is one I found in a church controlling the heating system. IMG_202006...066478.jpg
Wouldn’t this have an angled connector normally? Maybe is still being finished
After looking for 3 minutes, I still can’t figure out what it is, or supposed to be
Did anyone else try to imagine which way this could go round to fit? Well, sucks but it can't.
Thats "a macgyver solution" Because from what i see both pipes are also different type one is a drain pipe another is kind of washing machine pipe , so maybe thats why the did that
At a loss for words... note the silver tape at the connection to the radiator.
This is to reduce the water pressure, going from 22 mm pipe to 15 mm pipe. If the water is going from the 15 mm to the 25 mm then it would be to stop back flow by increasing the pressure to the 22 mm pipe
What's the problem? This looks like a public space, and the fence is probably there to prevent children from kicking the windows or something.
If you're going to ruin a beautiful plastered ceiling, you might as well go all the way.
I've seen a lot of this. Buyers apparently don't look behind the toilet.
yeah, that single tan tile is really triggering... what were they thinking!
Sometimes, things don't need to be aligned to work.... You bunch of squares! 😂
I think its not done yet. Ussually they put thing called tile grout to cover that section
When you're playing hide-and-seek with the valve on a pipe that's been encased in concrete for over a decade...
What's wrong here? Manifolds for hot and cold water for multiple apartments. They're probably going to encase the whole thing in concrete and it won't have to be messed with for 50 years.
No one would have known if they had cut away the excess isolation foam.
I've seen far worse. This actually looks pretty good compared to some of the s**t I've seen.
Looks like a ball socket fitting? If not, I have absolutely no idea how that is not leaking.
What the hell? Looks like chlorine testers we have in water stations.
Looks worse than it is, none of them are actually intertwined. Definitely should have used shorter lines to clean it up though.
Ok,what's wrong with this?It's a shut off valve, it looks to turn away from the wall...I'd it the crappy weld/solder job?
Two valves for LP gas shut off? nothing wrong with a bit of redundancy.
Didn't have a 90, but did have a tee & another valve. Guilty of this myself. Plus, now you can install a bidet.
before anyone who doesn't have clinically diagnlsed w/ ocd says "eeagh ocd nightmare!", im gonna say DONT cause its RUDE and INSENSITIVE AF and MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES ARENT TRENDS
btw im not angry at people who actually do have ocd. just the people who think its cute and cool cause it sucks fr
Load More Replies...I'm going to take a wild guess and say these are nearly all Russian buildings, based on the style of plumbing and wiring. Which says a lot about the state of the country.
Some of the designs suggest Europe. When you're dealing with a house that might be 300 years old, you may have to do unusual things to bring in plumbing and electricity. The towel-warmers are a curious European custom.
