» 75 Kludgers Kludging

  1. zack says:

    radioactive tan turd has grown too fast after flushing the toliet

  2. James says:

    Master Chief, the Flood is spreading to the latrines. You have to stop it before it forms a Proto-Gravemind!

  3. AlixeTiir says:

    I will never mix mix C4 and Bubble Bath Soap ever again.

  4. Dogmeat says:

    The rabid bathtub’s condition has deteriorated past a point where anything can be done to save it. I’m sorry, but the tub will have to be euthanized.

  5. treborx says:

    if i’m lookin’ at this correctly, the insulating foam is to cover up the external plumbing goin’ to the shower head(sic). cosmetically, it’s a nightmare, but it probably prevents burns on the hot pipe. this has a redneck kinda appeal to this. “look honey; ya kin stick the candles right in this stuff, and i’ll carve out some beer can holders”. how romantic.

    • AlixeTiir says:

      but if you look to the right of the kludge, a pipe is still exposed, not a very good job covering the plumbing.

  6. Dave says:

    Day 1 at the Clorox testing facility…

  7. fordprefect says:

    Think I’ll just take a spongebath, thanks all the same….

  8. Jompe71 says:

    It’s a foam…
    It’s acne…
    It’s fungus…
    NO, It’s “Jabba The Hut’s” left arm trying to get the right temperature for the Friday bath.

  9. Emily Michelle says:

    I don’t think I can take a bath there anymore, knowing now that the plumbing is prone to throwing up.

  10. Sparky812 says:

    Stay tuned for Lesson #2: Spray Foam is not waterproof and will break down in sunlight or when wet.

  11. piedlourde says:

    [David Attenborough voice] …when hatched, the xenomorph spawn will instinctively return here to impregnate the encapsulated bather. There won’t be much of a struggle.

  12. Mailman says:

    It’s indestructible! It’s indescribable! Nothing can stop it!

    How can it be stopped? Mob hysteria sweeps one city, before long, the nation, and then the world could fall before the bloodcurdling threat of… THE BLOB!

    Starring Steve McQueen and a cast of exciting young people.

  13. Shaveitt says:

    “Ummm, I think the shower mold has gotten a bit out of hand…”

  14. BillM75 says:

    Flowbee apparently now has a home liposuction device. I’m not interested Mr. Popeil. Just give me my spray on hair and let me outta here.

  15. Dan G says:

    “I didn’t think that expanding foam expanded THAT much!”

    • dissimilitude says:

      Yeah, I think that’s pretty much what happened. I’ve used that stuff before and ….it DOES expand more than you expect at first!

      • Archangel says:

        If you want *LOTS* of foam, use liquid hand dish washing soap in a dishwasher machine!! I did that one as a teen when I ran out of powdered machine soap. :(

  16. hee hee says:

    well, it isn’t going to leak… mainly because no one in their right mind would use this tub anymore, but if they did, nothing’s gonna leak.

  17. Bob-H says:

    I saw this before. The scene in the horror movie where the pretty girl is soaking in the bath with her eyes closed, not noticing this horrible goo oozing out of the wall.

  18. Sarge says:

    Man, that is the worst case of mildew I’ve ever seen.

  19. Alleycat says:

    This looks like somebody threw up after Dad’s pizza

  20. saintknowitall says:

    Bob’s toenail fungus had taken on a whole new dimension once he started working at the nuclear power plant.

  21. dono1 says:

    After a careful comparison of their bathroom remodeling options, Mr. & Mrs. Dogmeat chose the Travertine tile over the Pillsbury mainly because it was less dough.

  22. blkgrrl says:

    What? The whole bathroom is on giant zit.

  23. Helg-arrr says:

    This Great Stuff creation doesn’t look so great….

  24. dw says:

    I know i’ve seen this before in either Stephen King, hellboy comics or H.P. Lovecrafts work

  25. Archangel says:

    “Ethel! No time for a bath now, come fix this mess in the kitchen! ETHEL!! You added too much yeast to the bread making machine! Ethel! I’m getting stuck!! Get out off that tub now & help me! I’m trapped! Ethel! I CAN’T MOVE!! ETHEL!!!! AHHHH!!!!”

  26. Anna Rexia says:

    “Mom, I think it’s time you talk to Cissy about her yeast infection.”

  27. Chiccian says:

    They’re coming outta the walls! They’re coming outta the goddamn walls!

  28. TexasDan says:

    All I can think of is the scene in Brasil where the repair men open the paneling to start working on the “ducts”.

  29. Lady Anne says:

    When my husband and I were doing a remodeling project, I dropped the can of insulating foam on the tile flooor and it popped open. Fortunately, it was warm weather and we had the windows open because of the fumes. The Lord of the Manor grabbed the can and tossed it out the window. We had a mess very similar to this on the porch roof for longer than I care to remember.
    And Archangel, Soft Scrub also foams – the LotM once mistook the Soft Scrub bottle for Cascade and used it in the dishwasher. I had to use the shop vac to get the suds out of the machine! Good grief, what a mess!

  30. LadyAngel1124 says:

    Looks kinda like the “professional” caulking job my hubby did in our downstairs bathroom.

    (Note: Paying dues to the Handyman Club of America does not a handyman make.)

  31. classicgameguru says:

    If the black and white movie Psycho had this bathtub in the infamous murder scene, i would not be pouring chocolate sauce in that tub!

  32. Ali says:

    I think he meant to be using silicone sealant and not expanding foam to seal the gaps

  33. Scratchee says:

    Don’t show my landlord this–it might give him ideas on how to fix leaky pipes instead of replacing them!

  34. nofiltergirl says:

    After this last job, it was decided that LSD and home repair jobs definitely DO NOT mix, no matter what your laughing friends are telling you at the time…

  35. Papa Mike says:

    OMFG! Flood!

  36. floven1 says:

    this is where the queen of blades bathes

  37. Jimmylou says:

    Sheesh! If they’d painted it like spring-waterfall rocks, it would look great! :O

  38. j says:

    My dad srsly did this to our first bathroom. I think it may have been the source of my goo-coming-out-f-the-walls nightmares.

  39. strawrose says:

    This looks exactly how one professional filled in the outside cracks of the house. Right before open house. “Over here is the lovely yellow alien goo infesting your future home…”

  40. swiss_talk says:

    Another hot fix from Russia)))

  41. Bp says:

    Note: Expanding foam expands.

  42. Phil says:

    OK Jenny. You did a good job with the caulking. Now you just have to remove the excess caulking, and put in just a smidge of the caulking that says “caulking” on it. Good job.

  43. StandardFails says:

    You can never have too much “Great Stuff”. Where are the other 5 cans?
