You know those are only funny to those of us that know why they are, some people just don't see the problems.

Maybe it's me but I see a retriever's head in that one brick pillar outcropping.

yeah I noticed that too. Guess the person figured they'd chisel that in to remove all of the unnecessary support. They figured art is more important than structure. Most of those are probably photoshopped.

I don't think those are photoshopped so much. They took me back to working in townhouses in Brooklyn years ago.

I've only seen one worse. Customer built their shower in the basement around their panel. Guess they wanted really hot water and to dry off quickly.

Why would you photo shop something like this, I mean it is easy enough to find or even stage?

I love that someone completely cut through their floor joists to run their plumbing.

Great find Elvis. Definitely no need for photo shop, people really are that ignorant. Then again I've been in the big name stores and have heard their electrical pro tell the customer it is ok to run lamp cord through the wall for an additional outlet! It takes all kinds.

I liked the dish in the stink pipe too. It is amazing more houses don't just collapse.

The website for This Old House has a section called inspection nightmares or something like that. Anyone that has a clue about basic construction should find most of it terribly funny. Think I have seen some of those on that site.
Good stuff!

That panel in the vanity wall reminds me of when the contractor that I worked for did an apartment building remodel. There was a 6 unit building that we re-wired, and in every unit the 6circuit Federal Pacific subpanel was mounted IN THE SHOWER SURROUND.
I wish I had taken some pics, but that was back when I was an apprentice and didn't really think to take any pics.
