Worst DIY Installs Ever Part 7

Maybe it's just a matter of perspective, but in some of these pix I see a clever use of free material that's just hanging around.

Agreed.

I'm not sure what purpose it serves to rag on some of those setups. Yeah some of them are pretty funny, but like the ipad stand... that could be some dude's project that he's going to sell as a "Handyman's stand" or something. It's obvious, like the comment, that the photo was taking in a lightbox.

Why the elitist approach?

Oh no! Some dude with beer cans all over his floor put rubber bands around his remotes. The beer cans all over the floor should tell you something, so why treat it like it's a big joke?

LOL. As long as the guy's wife doesn't complain! Zero aesthetic, 100% functional.

Lol rite! That's what I was thinking.

Seriously, this forum has an Ultra-High-End section, maybe what we really should have is an El-Cheapo-Guide-to-AVS.

Lol it'd only be fair. Be some interesting reads.

I kind of like the hammer stand for the Ipad.

Would be cool to put in your garage when you have your ipad out there while looking stuff up on how to fix whatever out there!

I bet it would hold my Xoom nicely!

"If your working TV sits on top of your non-working TV, you might be a redneck."

My Father-In-Law hates to throw away anything. While dating, they had a 19" Magnavox tv sitting on top of a barely working 19" console. I don't mean just a console tv...I mean a 6' long piece of furniture, complete with built-in speakers and a flip up top with a turntable, radio and 8-track!

He did keep some cool gear, including the 1st television they owned, a still working '50s RCA TV.

My personal favorite is the flush mounted RPTV fitted into the wall. You go to the dining room and see 30" of the back end as some big monolith. It was by far the greatest fail of them all.
