This is a heart-pounding, eye-watering tour through the sketchiest construction you’ll ever see outside of a cartoon. These photos will make you afraid of these wildly unqualified people; folks who looked at a tool, a wall, a beam, or a power saw and thought: “Yeah, I got this”, right before proving they absolutely did not have this.
You’ll witness duct-tape engineering, questionable workers, and structural choices that would make a building inspector burst into tears. These are the DIY loonies who skipped instructions, ignored warnings, and trusted their instincts… despite having instincts that should come with a safety recall.
Be ready to laugh, wince, and wonder how did they survive this long. Because when it comes to construction, some people build stability and others build stories for the emergency room.
