Homeowners Who Could Use A Guesthouse To Cry In

If you own a home, you know that the upkeep isn't easy. You are solely responsible for making sure that your furnace is working, your walls are standing, your electricity is running, and any damage is repaired. When you're a renter, you don't have to worry about any of that stuff. You just call in your landlord to fix stuff for you.

When you're a homeowner, there's nobody to call. It's all on your shoulders. The people on this list are feeling a heavy burden right now.

Never Remove A Load Bearing Wall

If you watch a lot of Home and Garden television, you know that the one thing you can never do is take out a load bearing wall.

Apparently these people don't watch HGTV.

It just doesn't make any sense.

Someone said they installed this light switch like this with extra screws to ensure the plate doesn't fall off the wall.

Not only does this just not seem safe, but it's also a huge eyesore.

If you like messing around with guests, this is a brilliant idea! While they frantically search for the toilet paper, you can be in your room laughing about it.

Other than that, why would you do this?

Who Had This Idea?

The legs that support this balcony don't look too strong, to begin with, so that's probably the main issue.

Putting a window in front of a window seems a bit odd, but I'm no expert at this.

Who Cut This Lawn?

Was the lawn too big for the lawnmower to handle, or what? This is probably the most despicable mow you'll ever set your eyes on.

The zig-zags don't even have a pattern for you to follow. Someone went out there and said, "screw this job," and did this.
