Meet Trevor Lahey. He’s a Certified Chalk Installer, and he runs into some very interesting examples of construction fails during his work.

And here are 15 absolute doozies that he’s run into over the years.

Take a look for yourself. Some of these are pretty unbelievable.

1. Walk on up!

Generally speaking toilets are poorly designed, way too many twists and and turns. I like to elevate the shitter as much as possible so when you’re dropping bombs it’s a straight drop to the city! Feeling like a Gargoyle up on your perch is just a bonus! #elite #shitter #keepcraftalive

2. Maybe a little overkill?

Customer safety is always a top priority of mine. With no hesitation I always add a couple extra screws to make sure the plates don’t fall off. Electrocution is a very serious issue which I do not take lightly. #electrocution #electrical #electrcian #electricalwork #handyman #contractor #contractorsofinsta #keepcraftalive #worksmarternotharder #coverplate #trades #tradesman #craftsman #craftsmanship #light #reno #renovation #contruction

3. Very close…

Some tasks are easier than they look! This task is just as easy as it looks. I opted to add the stopper a little lower because I know overtime the door will sag and I ain’t interested in callbacks! I’m always thinking ahead; probably why I am so successful! #timeismoney #futureproblems #doors #door #doorstop #contractor #contractorsofinsta #carpenter #handyman #tip #tips #tipoftheday #reno #renovation #keepcraftalive

4. In case you need to charge your phone.

I don't know about you but I have spent hours looking at dank memes on the shitter only to have my battery die! That is why I have decided to add outlets on all my toilets for charging purposes so I can keep the party going! #memes #dankmemes #spicymemes #bath #craftsmanship #craftsman #handyman #outlets #outlet #customoutlet #power #electricon #electrical #electrician #keepcraftalive #power #chargingstation #toiletporn #toilet #reno #renovation #contractor #contracting #contractorlife #instahome #contractorsofinsta #phone

5. An interesting choice.

View this post on Instagram

I had a customer looking to increase the window size at his store. His sales are down and he thinks it is possibly related to the lack of natural light in the showroom! Frankly I agree! I put in this massive window which has tripled the natural light, inevitably tripling his sales also! #window #windows #windowdisplay #windowsanddoors #installer #naturallight #storefront #sales #keepcraftalive #contractor #contractorsofinsta #carpenter #handyman #caulksmith #reno #renovation #craftsman #craftsmanship #trades #tradesman #problemsolver

6. It works…somehow.

View this post on Instagram

Customer refused to pay my hourly rate; instead he opted to pay per fitting. I was a little hesitant at first but I think this might be the better way to charge!

7. Looks safe to me.

You have to be careful when cutting into structure. Always leave an inch at the bottom of the joist, this way it will retain its structure! By running this pipe through it, and spray foaming it altogether the joist is stronger than when I started; stronger than wood itself! #ihavemadethisincrediblystrong #strength #structure #structuredesign #keepcraftalive #contractor #contractorsofinsta #handyman #carpenter #hvac #plumber #electrician #framer #craftsman #craftsmanship #reno #renovation #greaseapproved #vent #trades #tradesman

8. Halfsies!

Turning a 1.5 bath home into a 2.5 bath is surprising easy. I’m surprised more humans don’t do it! It immediately increases the value of the home…. not to mention the cost savings on water; I can be dropping a bomb simultaneously as my friend yet it’s only gonna take 6L to send them home! #bathroom #bath #reno #renovation #bathroomremodel #toilet #plumber #carpenter #handyman #drywaller #keepcraftalive #contractor #contractorsofinsta #useyourbrain #value #homevalue #appraisal

9. The old pallet porch.

View this post on Instagram

My customer wanted me to replace her deck with 1×1 deck tiles and she was ecstatic when I surprised her with 4×4 deck tiles. The customers reaction is why I constantly strive to outdo myself and exceed the high expectations that I have created for myself! And yes I built this deck a few years ago but she wanted a fresh look! #deck #decktiles #decktime #decking #exterior #craftsmanship #craftsman #handyman #carpenter #contractor #contractorsofinsta #keepcraftalive #remodel #reno #renovation #design #designer

10. Finish it off.

Home Depot only stocks 8' lengths of laminate countertops so I had to make up this extension. I love doing custom work because it is so satisfying when you take a step back and see a job well done! The average person would not have been able to pull this off! #millwork #custom #customcountertops #countertops #countertop #laminate #hpl #laminatecountertops #keepcraftalive #contractor #contracting #contractorlife #carpenter #carpentry #handyman #caulk #caulksmith #caulking #caulker #kitchenporn #kitchendesign #kitchenremodel #reno #renovation

11. A very handy spot.

View this post on Instagram

Ever been walking down the stairs and found out that your phone needed a charge!? I have come up with the solution! The best part is there is a built in seat while you wait for your phone to finish charging. Comfort and convenience are key in this business! Don’t feel like waiting? You can safely tuck the cord and phone tight up against the kick board, and it will be safe and out of the way! #electricon #electrical #electrician #electric #handyman #carpenter #contractor #contractorsofinsta #craftsman #craftsmanship #reno #renovation #keepcraftalive #stairs #outlet #chargingstation#charging #greatideas

12. Those are buckets, by the way.

View this post on Instagram

Have you ever tried taking 2 buckets apart? It’s impossible; that’s why I always look to the bucket for all my HVAC needs! The wedge fit guarantees no heat loss, so it’s a no brainer! #noalexrequired #keepcraftalive #hvacspecialist #bucketporn

13. Blends right in.

View this post on Instagram

I’m not sure why they make downspouts so large, I find it’s best to reduce the size of the opening, so less water comes out. That way there is less water to freeze, so you avoid those embarrassing slips and falls. I already have back problems from sitting on the toilet for so long looking at memes, I don’t need it from slipping and falling too! #tipoftheday #reduceyouropenings #forsafety #keepcraftalive

14. A new kind of exhaust fan.

Just got this ceiling fan installed. This is the next best thing to having an air conditioner! 2 speed settings with option to exhaust!i had to cut a big hole in order to properly use the exhaust setting.

15. Just tape it up.

View this post on Instagram

I always keep a roll of scotch General purpose tape in the truck. This stuff works miracles when a tube of caulk is overkill. Best part is that it is paintable, so you can paint it any colour you want. I prefer natural personally. #scotchtape #michaelscotch #generalpurpose #repair #repairing #repairman #repairshop #diy #diyer #handyman #carpenter #contractor #contracting #bestinthebusiness #greatrates #donerightthefirsttime #downspouts
