Are these the worst DIY bodges ever?
One website has collected together some of the oddest DIY bodges of all time. Pleated Jeans went on the hunt for the kinds of quick-fix solutions that can only ever be the result of a combination of ultra laziness, extreme thriftiness, and unbridled optimism.
The result is collection of DIY disasters that range from the individual who taped a disposable camera to her phone to the DIYer whose solution to keep the sink upright involved a stack of books and a kitchen chair. Here are some of the most alarming examples they found.
