DIY disastersI just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.
Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.
Tell us of your own DIY disasters.

Not me, someone who didn`t listen to me and a tale of two kango`sI cast the runes, advised sensibly but was not heeded. a mate i worked with was as intelligent as i am, but differently, the practical bit had never stuck. I gave sterling advice on removing tiles in the bathroom which was do it with a brick bolster and a club hammer It`s a 1930`s place with shitblock walls in places. If you must use any sort of mechanical stuff, get the fartiest you can to limit damage and and put a wide chisel in. Saw one in the hire cat that would be safe and said so.
Having been told this the hire place had none returned , But he could have this lovely monster one at no extra charge.......
Tiles on the window reveals ..Zip through the window, otherside? Zip.. through the window. Patition wall ( shitblock) zip through tile, shit block and you could see the neighbours brown plaster.
I didn`t witness this, but a mutual friend spilled the beans crying with laughter, I didn`t know, all I asked was did you get those tiles off? " Oh yes absolutely" and a very odd look.
