No pain, no brain. That is all we have to say about this next design failure. It seems to win them all. We are doing our best to see if this is an optical illusion; however, the more we try, the more we acknowledge the fact that some human is responsible for this. All that is missing is a small ramp to make this perfect.
This is for all those times all you wanted was a bit of peace and quiet sprinkled with a touch of flooding. The next question is, how do we solve this? Do we break this apart and crest a new and proper one? Or do we just level out the floor by placing a few bricks?
First You Think, Then You Do
This guy (we have a feeling it's a guy who is responsible for this major fail) was obviously so preoccupied with his wife nagging him to hang the satellite dish all he wanted was to get this job over and done with, and didnt pay to much attention to what was going on.
So to all those wives out there. We recommend keeping your mouth shut while patiently waiting for your husband to install the dish. We know you have been waiting for this since Christmas. However, men can only do one thing at a time. It's either hanging the dish or listening to you.
Problem Solved?
We are not sure if this is a design failure or someone being very lazy. There is plenty of room to place the pipes where they should be, so why were they placed this way? We found it hard t believe that there are people out there that are this stupid and did this without realizing what was going on.
According to the plumbers association, something must have been in the way. This is not something done by an amateur plumber and definitely not by a professional one. Saying that, in our books, nothing can excuse this.
Dysfunctional Balcony
At first look, these balconies look pretty sweet, right? A perfect spot to relax and enjoy the fresh air. But then you realize the disaster that hides here. They could be just emergency exits; they could be just a teaser for those who can't afford an apartment with a balcony; either way, this is wrong.
As it turns out, these are not real balconies. They were put there to deceive the eye. The council wanted to do something to make these buildings look better and decided to add these concrete boxes, just to freshen things up.
Room With a… View?
Windows: they’re pretty pointless if you can’t see out of them. Try telling that to the owners of this house, who figured building a window behind the chimney flue wasn’t at all counter-intuitive. We suppose the dream of an attic with a picturesque view got put on the back burner as the chimney was prioritized. Sigh.
What we’re wondering now is, how many other renovation disasters are lurking, in the depths of the house, behind this view-less window? The only other explanation we have is that the room was renovated at a later stage; however, that still brings us to ask - why wasn't the window blocked off?
