Welcome to /c/DiWHY!


DiWHY (pronounced D-I-Why) is a community to share DIY (do-it-yourself) projects that leave you questioning the meaning of purpose and practicality. Have you ever seen or attempted a DIY project that seemed like a good idea at first glance, only to realize it was a total disaster later? Share those moments here!

My wife kept insisting it was still alive. I just kept crunching the leaves as she was telling me this.

Haha. Didn't realize what instance this was at first. Makes sense now.

I bought on of these metal sticks to install in the shower and was the crappiest shit I ever bought. Fortunately I was able to send it back and get my money back.

It’s working well so far…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Yours should have better quality that the one I got.

Do a search for shower curtain rod clawfoot tub. You will find the correct solution to this problem.

I am envious of all the room you have for toiletries

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

You mean all the room my wife has. I have a small shelf for all 5 of my products!

I'm gonna send this to some shower installers and see what they say.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ya let me know their reaction

[–] Lag 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I sent them a text with the picture and they called me concerned because they thought it was for one of my clients. Very relieved that it wasn't lol. They said if they showed up at your house to work on it, they would immediately turn around and leave.

My personal opinion is that everything is made up so don't worry about standards, unless you're trying to sell your house.

That’s an interesting response. Especially when they could receive money for work done. Thanks for the follow up! I’ve been using my shower for a bit now and I haven’t encountered any issues.

Here’s how it looks all finalized:

It appears that you succeeded. I guess. Might need to redefine that word for this community.
