Funny Examples of Jerry Builders
Examples of mistakes made by Jerry builders and other 'professional' workmen. Incidentally, the term Jerry Built dates back to the 19th century. The original meaning was defective, made from makeshift materials.

Not Jerry Built - Just Weird Cubic Houses
These cubic houses came about from a design by Piet Blom in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The concept is of a a forest, thus to get the full effect you need to view a street of these cubic houses. (See photograph to the right)
The cubes are split into three levels. The triangle-shaped lower level contains the living area. The windows on this level open onto the environment below due to the slope of the tilted cube. The middle level contains the sleeping area and a bathroom, while the top triangle becomes an extra bedroom or a living space.
The columns holding up the cubes allow for a staircase that leads to the entrance. Some of the cubes in the 'forest' have shops on the promenade level

DIY (Dangerous Incompetent Yob)
A Do-it-Yourself [DIY] enthusiast, from the UK, has been banned by his wife from taking on any more tasks after causing thousands of pounds worth of damage reports the Daily Telegraph newspaper.
Christopher Andrews, 21, a pensions administrator, has left a trail of
destruction in their two-bedroom terrace house in Wiltshire, south-west England.
While trying to change a washer on a tap, he went up into the loft to look for
the stop-crock and disconnected two pipes, flooding the house. He later returned
to the loft to look for the television aerial and crashed through the room's ceiling,
showering plaster on his wife who was ironing.
When he wanted to lay a carpet in the bedroom, he knocked out the light bringing the roll of material into the house. He cut a large hole in the carpet rather than move the bed. Andrews once blacked both his eyes when a wheel brace slipped as he tried to change a punctured tyre on the couple's car.
Mr Mr Andrews ruined a kitchen work surface by trimming off so much of it to make it fit that it ended up far too small.
In his hands the electric drill becomes a dangerous weapon. He cut his leg badly when he dropped the drill as he tried to re-hang a broken garden gate. Then, while trying to put up a coat rack in the hall, he drilled through an electric cable sending out sparks that set fire to the curtains.
This made him more safety conscious; so when he decided to put some speakers on the walls he turned off the electricity. Then, unable to understand why his electric drill had stopped working, he took it apart to see if he could fix the fault. Having failed to find anything wrong with it, he tried to put it back together again but by then he had forgotten where all the pieces went. He went out and bought another drill and was about to take it back because it didn't work when his wife arrived home and reminded him that he had turned off the electricity.
Mrs Andrews, a job training manager, said she had had enough, 'Chris will have a go at absolutely anything,' she commented. 'But in his case DIY stands for Dangerously Incompetent Yob'.
It is entirely possible, think Will and Guy, that Mr Andrews may have been responsible for fitting this television in his home.
