As I’m going to have to start looking for a contractor soon to help with the renovations of my Father’s house, I find that I am paying closer attention to the work they do, and in some cases I’m shocked that I’m seeing things I never really noticed before. You always hear the horror stories, and trust me, my family has lived through one of them, but seeing pictures like this, it makes me want to ask any potential contractor for some examples of their work before I consider hiring them.

Now, some of these images are just… dumb. It really makes you wonder how someone who plays with the structure of a building actually got a license to do so. However, in some cases, like the picture with the balcony over the train tracks, it’s entirely possible that they just left the tracks there as it would be more expensive to rip them up. I dunno. However, those balconies around the lamp post…? The guy who approved that should be beaten senseless.

I’ll leave the rest of the images to you for your own conclusions and amusement.

Thanks to Molly for forwarding this collection of horrific images my way.
