Sketchy Times Construction Could Have Just Stopped

Safety last?

The art of creating magnificent buildings or tiny little houses evolved throughout the years, with better equipment and lots of safety measures to avoid any kind of accident. But old-school workers sometimes don't care about that because they're pretty sure they can handle it on their own. That situation needs someone to say “stop” before it's too late, but safety guys aren't around very often.

That leads to strange contraptions and lots of workers climbing structures with no safety equipment whatsoever. Most of the time, they know what they're doing, but they also call them accidents for a reason. Construction fails can be funny unless you're an actual construction worker.

And other times, it's not really about safety but common sense. Stairs leading nowhere? Bathroom and kitchen combined? Balconies nobody can access? Someone please say something before it's too late!

So, we present to you sketchy times where construction could have just stopped, for all of our sakes.

No equipment needed

There's gotta be a better way to do this.

Stcuk machinery

Someone is not getting paid this week.

Minimalist toilet

Why so many steps?

Balcony fail

Someone should have seen that coming.

Safety measures

Construction workers can get very creative when safety doesn't allow ladders on the job site.

Tilted house

Many things must have gone wrong for this to have happened.

Who needs ladders

There's always a creative solution to an annoying construction problem.

Ladder on Stairs

There has to be some kind of competition to find the weirdest places to put a ladder on.

Trench Safety

You'd better move out of there.

Lull Fail

If this happens, you'd better stop.

Stairs on top of things

Not sure that's the best place to put them.

Plastic Bag Protection

No safety goggles, no problem.

Feet Placement

This can end very badly.

Look, Mom, No Ladder!

Sometimes a really long ladder isn't enough.

No Fence

In this case, construction might have stopped a bit early.

Illusory Stairs

What were they thinking?

Parked machinery

Why would they? But also, how did they? Makes you wonder…

Floating door

No one noticed this until it was too late.

Teamwork

Who needs a ladder when you have the power of friendship?

Old Times

And to think this was a typical construction back in the day.
