    13 People Who Tried To Improve Their Home And Failed So, So, So, So, So Miserably

    Whoever put an electrical system in the shower needs to be jailed.

    Not everyone has an impeccable vision for design, and that's completely OK! However, if you're not a Joanna Gaines in the making, like these poor souls, then you may want to step away from the tools and let a professional handle it instead. Here are 13 homes belonging to people who I wish knew their limits:

    1. This shower that I can only assume was meant to boast a beautiful mosaic of tiles:

    9. This rock someone intentionally left in the middle of the floor:

    large rock exposed through the tile of the floor

    10. This shower that literally just ricochets water toward the other end:

    11. This outlet that looks like it was ripped out and then glued back into the wall:

    12. This bathroom without a door that lets you greet every guest with your bum as they walk in:

    bathroom in the main room with no door and a glass wall

    13. And finally, this fire alarm that has been conveniently placed exactly where you'd expect a light switch to be:
