Time and Money Down the Drain: DIY Projects You'll Want to Avoid
10. Poop in a basket
Estimated New Cost: $10–20*
Estimated DIY Cost: $15*
Wall-mounted basketball hoops are relatively affordable, with prices for the less expensive models ranging from $10 to $20. However, in this peculiar case, someone opted for an unconventional solution by using the restroom instead of heading to the store.
This humorous choice raises questions about creativity and practicality. While it’s clear that a proper basketball hoop can enhance playtime and provide a fun outlet for kids and adults alike, this makeshift alternative might not hold up to the rigors of actual gameplay.
After a half-hour of unscrewing and a fair bit of effort, a new basketball hoop is finally mounted on the wall. However, one can't help but wonder if purchasing a new hoop would have been a much more efficient choice. Additionally, there’s the unexpected expense of replacing the seatless toilet that was previously in place. In terms of practicality and cost-effectiveness, it seems that nobody is scoring any points in this scenario.
Another pressing question arises: will the basketball even fit through the opening of this makeshift setup? As much as we might like to believe that this unconventional genius checked the dimensions beforehand, it seems highly unlikely given the overall situation. The only sound echoing here is one of utter disappointment, as the reality of the project slams the door on any hopes of success.
