A collection of stories detailing costly home renovation projects that have turned out to be major disappointments for their owners.
People Are Sharing The Expensive Home Improvement Projects They've Done In Their Homes That Are 10,000% Not Worth ItPersonally, I'm confident that whether you own or rent , it's always fun to learn about others' home improvement projects. Otherwise, we wouldn't watch HGTV."When we built our house 26 years ago, we had someone landscape most of our flowerbeds for us. It looked great! Then I realized that someone has to maintain them.
"In-floor heating. Don't have it personally, but I work in the HVAC industry and have had several customers with it.""It is super expensive to put in and once it breaks you have to dig up the entire thing to find where the problem is. It will cost you a good portion of the install price just to have someone dig around and repair the problem. Put down a rug or some carpet instead.""I always wear slippers in the house anyway.
Turns out it was the siding around the windows in the first place. After $20,000, we did not solve our problem. And now have another project to do with no funds to do it. The worst part is new windows don’t really add value to a house. Especially not twice over. Big lesson for a new homeowner for sure.""Solar! It took my $220 electric bill to $120 per month, but the lease cost me $200 for the panels. So it's actually $100 more per month.
Anyway, if I would have known that the deer zombie thing was going to happen, I would have just put up a smaller window since it only hit about three feet into the seven-foot-wide window. Two smaller windows would have saved us two grand."Two DIY projects. The first: we paid to have an in-ground pool built. It turned out great. It required a couple of retaining walls built to terrace our backyard.
Like my irrigation plans, I got DIY burnout and never finished pulling the power and data wiring or finishing any outlets."
