50 People Who Are Having A Worse Day Than You With Their Homes (New Pics)
The pandemic has turned us all into make-it-yourselfers, more or less. And while most of us have had our inspo put into practice either by trying a recipe that under normal circumstances we’d never dare to challenge, or making a nesting box, others set out on way more elaborate endeavors. As a result, there was an unprecedented boom in homeowners with days that have been ruined beyond repair.
The reasons for this curious phenomenon can be traced back to the seemingly innocent urge for renovation. After all, we all spent a shamelessly huge amount of time in the comfort of our homes that became the target of our idle hands.
Fast forward to today and we now have quite a solid collection of pics that document these home disasters. Thanks to the corner of Reddit known as “Well That Sucks” that has a whopping 2.6M members, we have a lot to learn from what not to do with our home, shelter, rented flat, Airbnb, roof, ‘cause… well, the pics speak for themselves.
Psst! Part 1 with more homeowners having a pretty bad day await right here.

The View Of My Balcony Before And After They Removed A Tree
Andy Acceber 4 years ago
Noooooo. That is tragic. I once had a landlord cut down all of the giant bushes in front of our windows without telling us. In theory, he was going to "paint the house." Front room felt like a fishbowl as everyone on the sidewalk could see straight in. I moved out two years later. House was never painted.

Neighbor's 12yo Grandkid Decided To Sneak In The Car And Take A Joyride. Freaked Out, Hit The Gas, And Crossed Their Lawn And Mine To Hit The Front Of My House
September Meadows 4 years ago
Believe it or not, my two brothers managed to do this when they were 4 and 2 years old. 4 year old (very observant and too smart for his own good) watches how my mom drives, takes the keys, gets into a locked car, starts it gets it into drive (was an automatic) has my 2 year brother sit on the floor of the car and push the gas. They drive out of the driveway, across the street, through the neighbors lawn, up seven steps, across a very nicely appointed front patio and pretty much accomplished the same kind of damage as in OP's pic. No one was hurt. Everyone was astonished.

I'm guessing they clumped together and were unbalanced during the spin cycle. Drum came loose and broke the washing machine. Good models have a sensor and will stop if the spinning is too violent.

In Florida, my homeowners insurance covers any damage caused by flooding that comes from inside the house... broken pipes, cracked toilets, etc. but I had to buy a separate policy to cover damages caused by water coming in from outside.

CORRECTION - I just watched the Old Reddit video that is linked with this post. The water does drain all the way so the product did work. The screen capture is misleading. Nevertheless, the mess that's created is much worse than what's shown on the picture. So he did have a worse day than me.
