My Dad fell down the stairs naked and landed in my mom’s sisters special spot.

Tesla hired the lowest bidder from a different county to do my roof for $8k

3 years later I’ve got a few quotes all over $20k each to redo their bad work and $8k in repairs. They are evaluating their options.

Not my current house but previous one. 15 days before we gave over possession, there must have been a loud bang or something that scared the dog about 15 minutes before I woke up, he climbed onto the toilet and turned on the bidet and flooded the lower floor.

That was damn expensive to fix properly for the next people.

Getting cats. Well, not the home itself, but everything in it.

Trusting the home inspector that said the roof wouldn’t need to be replaced for at least another couple years.

I used a convection toaster oven in the kitchen.

That fried the circuits of 1/3 of the house. Some amateur electrician tied in several new circuits into the same kitchen breaker. They used undergauged wire on top of it.

Cost us $6k to fix and that was a hell of a deal from some Covid - unemployed union electricians. They put in 3 breakers where there was one before. The electrician had a hell of a time tracking where all the lines came from. That included a 3ft fireball shooter ng out of the wall because a line was love when it shouldn’t have been.

My nephew (it was my own damn fault for leaving the equipment set up because I was halfway done with a project) siphoned 55 gallons of water from an aquarium I was building into the carpet.

And that’s the story of how I learned to do flooring and replaced the carpet in my home office with linoleum so that the next time something like that happens it’s non issue.

Frozen pipe burst over my bedroom as a kid. I don’t even know how much it cost to repair and to replace everything that was ruined.

Oak tree. Destroys slabs like no other.

My sister burned her apartment down by leaving a portable battery bank plugged in and charging. Luckily the reason she wasn’t home at the time of the fire was because she was bringing the cat to a cat sitter, or else the cat would’ve been cooked too.

Be careful with portable battery banks folks! Don’t leave them unattended!

The ceiling caving over the dining room was pretty bad. Right below my childhood bedroom too, so I had nightmares for a while.

Nothing too wild happened at my current place besides a pipe leaking while I was away for work. Landlord fixed the pipe but didn’t clean up the water. Came home after a month to the saddest kitchen you ever saw

Her name was Jessica.

Lightning struck my late father’s homemade CB radio antenna back in the early 90’s. It made the antenna explode, and fried around 3/4 of every electronic device in the house ☹️

Thankfully the refrigerator survived at least, and of course thankfully the house didn’t burn down.

If he had only properly grounded his antenna and CB radio…

My daughter didn’t check the toilet after she flushed it right before bed. It was in a back bedroom that nobody else really goes to. It ended up flooding overnight and I didn’t discover it til the next morning, when I found my kitchen flooding from the ceiling. It apparently wasn’t from poop though as I didn’t see any fecal matter around (unless it was in the ceiling that got torn out). Whole kitchen ceiling got torn out, along with the floor of the bathroom. Not a huge amount of damage, but the most the house has sustained… so far.
