Before proceeding with any task, it is always important to consider all possible outcomes. That way, you avoid wasting valuable time and resources.

Some tasks are irreversible, and once you begin working on them, you cannot undo any previous wrongs. Each step depends on the one before it, and when one link breaks in the chain, everything falls apart.

Home improvement is a challenging and draining process that cannot possibly succeed without a lot of prior planning and thorough execution. You can easily ruin everything by not following instructions properly or being reckless with your supplies.

Pets are one aspect people sometimes forget about; they cannot be anywhere around the area that is going through improvement. They are unpredictable and can ruin everything in a split second.

It is crucial to make sure that they are somewhere safe and secluded so they can't randomly wander out. It could also be dangerous for your pets to get exposed to toxic elements that could harm their health.

The people in the pictures below ended up with some disastrous situations while conducting home improvement. They forgot to put into consideration some important aspects and ended up suffering from the consequences of their actions.

1. “Ducks walking across finished concrete”

2. “My dad isnt so great at remodeling, so I turned his work into a work of art.”

3. “Landlords- please don’t paint over cockroaches.”

4. “"I can't believe this one. We just moved into a brand new house, painters came by to touch up some walls upstairs.”

This poor guy fell down the whole staircase with a full 5 gallon bucket of paint. He screamed the whole way down, I thought he was going to be hurt but thankfully he wasn't. Paint splattered all the way across the living room onto my brand new furniture ????

5. “My wife said measure the door, I told her all doors are the same size...”

6. “Fixing a toilet leak. I took 2 trips to Home Depot, worked with a hernia, had a pain in the ass time putting the wax ring and screws on...only to install the toilet and forgetting about the door. I'm an idiot.”

7. “What happens when you're renovating and remove a load-bearing wall”

8. “ I've heard of "painting yourself into a corner" but my wife took it a step further. I don't even know...”

11. “My Landlord: Is It Ok If The Replacement Tile Is Not An Exact Match? Me: Yeah That’s Fine. The Tile:”

13. “Brother-in-law repairing his awning”

14. “We just finished the construction of our yurt... and the fireplace was not correctly installed.”

19. “ I picked the ladder up forgetting the paint was on top”

20. “WCGW if my neighbour uses the longest possible drill out there?”
