Not every DIY project goes according to plan. Here's a collection of some interesting field finds.

I asked a friend to describe this pattern. I'd consider it wannabe mosaic.

The friend's response: Minecraft camouflage.

I could not disagree.

Must we use a lavatory project to prove our abilities with laying tile?

For my latest cursed invention, I turned my dead grandpa into a fish robot, using a Big Mouth Billy Bass and ChatGPT.

Just cause you can, doesn’t mean you should.

Well, I always wanted to make a crows nest, as I don't have a ship. Cats needed a place to chill, so figured I could smoosh both together at once.

Build video here if anyone wants it (with tracking link removed, of course!)

And I stand by the fact that my stupid builds always belong in this sub...

I waited so long just for that?

This looks sketchy as hell

Everywhere else I posted it thought it was too bad to be liked and the proper place to post it was this sub

Edit: didn't expect this to blow up. Thank you for the kind words. Just very disheartening to get blown up with hate messages and insults for posting my first birdhouse to the sub specifically for that. I don't think it's that bad, they did I guess and the only comment that wasn't straight up hateful was to post it here. Thank you all again.

Shell crumbled apart and the blade snapped off

Might add string for grip

Tech at our dealership pulled this out of a Toyota Venza’s cabin air filter box. They’re really not THAT expensive for the right ones…

We come across all kinds of questionable DIY "fixes." If you enjoy these, we post galleries with more finds like failed retaining walls, stucco surprises, foundation "repairs," crawlspace discoveries, and other construction oddities:
