There are a lot of reasons why some homeowners take on remodeling projects they have no business trying to handle on their own. Maybe they saw a TV show that made it look easy, relied on the wrong Youtube video for help, or were told that a friend of their brother's neighbor did this type of work all the time. But whatever the cause, these projects gone wrong are equal parts funny and painful to see.
