The movie “Idiocracy” was a very funny film in certain parts. One of my favorite aspects was the way it truly captured the jerry-riggin’, not really thinking things through mentality exhibited in certain parts of this great country of ours. The skyscrapers tied together was my favorite such moment. A while back someone, forgive me for forgetting who, linked to this great gallery of pictures taken by housing inspectors of insane home improvements conducted all over America. This is a ‘best-of’ sort of list of some of the most dangerous, yet kind of understandable construction mistakes I have ever seen. Bathe in the glory of American ingenuity.
