Ever try fixing things on your own? Didn't come out the way they were supposed to? Do you stand there questioning your whole life? If so, post your results here to DiWHY (Pronounced: Dee Eye WHY). Where shitty projects from DIY live prosperously.

Simple Rules: Expose a DIY PROJECT in which one of 2 things can occur:

  1. Project should never have been proposed (why???)
  2. The execution of a good project idea which turned out horribly wrong (oh god, why???)

If at any time you feel that a specific post isn't living up to this requirement (be gentle as this is a humor sub, not meant to be taken seriously) please feel free to report (give exact reason) and let your voice be heard with downvotes and comments.

Words to live by: "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could; that they didn't stop to think if they should!"

my bedazzled book (wip)

a lot of people on r/Stormlight_Archive told me to drop this here - this is my progress on covering my Way of Kings novel in sticky gems

i know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but i think it’s pretty funny to look at, i had fun making it, plus i have multiple copies of this book so it was just a way to pass time during thanksgiving break

Removing a closet. Unsure why closet door header was attached with these bolts going into attic

3 sliding doors in upstairs bedroom. None of the nails hit joists or studs, the 2x4s on the sides of closet frame were nailed to the baseboards

Extension cord DIY

Previous owner hardwired the dishwasher with a section of extension cord and cranked it into the junction box so hard I had to cut the wire. Next stop: wiring up a proper outlet for the new dishwasher
