Home Improvement Horrors: DIY Projects That Destroyed Everything | The Unbelievable Truth

We’ve all been there: staring at a slightly crooked shelf or a peeling patch of wallpaper and thinking, "I could fix that myself." But what happens when "fixing it" turns into a total structural catastrophe? Join David Mitchell and our panel of experts on The Unbelievable Truth as we explore the chaotic, hilarious, and often deeply regrettable world of DIY disasters. From plumbing projects that turned bathrooms into indoor swimming pools to structural "renovations" that nearly brought the house down, we’re unpacking the true cost of overestimating our own handy-work. Tune in for a witty look at why some things really should be left to the professionals—and why our own ambition is sometimes our worst enemy. In this episode, we tackle: The most bizarre DIY failures that turned homes upside down. The psychology behind why we refuse to call a professional. Sharp-witted banter and expert commentary on the art of making things much, much worse.
