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.

Don't drink and DIYWhilst drunk, we broke the lock on the bathroom door.
So, whilst drunk, we fixed it again.
All went well until we tried to close the door and found that we'd put the door handle back on the wrong way round: the sticking-sideways bit went away from the hinges instead of towards them. It stuck out beyond the edge of door, preventing us closing it.
My immediate reaction was "oh yeah - we've got to take the handle off again, close the door and then put it back on again".
I was wrong.
