Scott Sidler owns a historic window restoration company called Austin Historical in Orlando, Florida. He mainly works on pre-war buildings across the Southeastern United States but while Sidler is returning them to their former glory, he often notices ridiculous door, window, and shutter solutions.
"As a preservation contractor, I was constantly called in to fix mismatched windows and poor replacement shutters and I started taking pictures of the worst offenders to educate people about what a real window and real shutters should look like," Sidler told Bored Panda. "Shutters seem to be the most misunderstood and I see such awful applications that I thought a weekly series of fails would help people understand them better and get a good laugh at the same time."
Thus, #ShudderSunday was born.

"The ”power shutter”! When your windows are a bit small and understated you should upgrade things and go with a power shutter that is twice the size of the window!
Of course these shutters are so powerful that the house can only handle one per window!"

"Those pesky power meters! If only they could move this then they could bolt another vinyl shutter to the siding 5 inches too far away from the window, but I guess this will do.
Bonus is it saves money since they used the second shutter on on a corner window across the house!"

"I was so taken in by the horse and buggy detail that I almost didn’t notice these shutters were about 1/8 the size they should be."

"This may be the greatest collection of shutter mistakes I have ever seen in one picture.
1. Garage shutters: never appropriate
2. The corner bay windows: a little sliver of shutter to show you were purposeful about s******g this up
3. The group of 3 windows up top: sharing is caring and these 3 windows are sharing too few shutters that are too small"
