We’ve all been there where DIY looks like a fun challenge and it’s not until you’re an hour in, without the right tools and very little patience left that you realise it’s not worth the hassle! Hire A Hubby recently surveyed the public to find out their DIY habits and we found nearly 1/3 of Aussies have tried to fix something at home and made the job worse, resulting in close to 60% of people calling out for help and getting a professional in to fix the problem. Take a look at some of the fantastic DIY attempts (fails) we’ve found from across the interweb:
Furniture Assembly Fail
When putting together your new bed, be sure to check the ladder is well away from the vicinity…
Shelving Fail
Looking for a decent shelving solution for your kitchen and want to incorporate some supermarket chic interior design? Look no further…
Mailbox Fail
Got old computer equipment around the house and waiting on an important letter? Kill two birds with one stone with this delightful DIY mailbox…
Ladder Fail
In a world of health and safety gone mad, sometimes we ask ourselves why? Surely people can be trusted for common sense to prevail. Then you see this and remember why there are rules in place…
Laundry Fail
Plumber of the year right here Ladies and Gents, just don’t drop any stray socks as you’re loading the machine…
Roofing Fail
One should always make sure one’s back is covered when DIY’ing, especially when hanging from one’s roof…
Toilet Door Fail
The art of measurement was lost on this fumble attempt…
…and finally, Flat Pack Fail
If the instructions had actual words, we might get somewhere but alas, this is as good as DIY flat pack furniture assembly gets for most of us…
