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.

My Grandad....Was ace at DIY back in the day and was widely regarded as the man to see if you wanted any oddjobs doing. Until about 10 years ago. Aged 73 at the time he was on the roof of his friends bungalow doing some retiling. His mate shouts up that there's a cup of tea in the kitchen. Grandad shout, 'Coming!' and promptly steps into fresh air.
Luckily, his friend had a lovely, lush and springy lawn so his injuries were fortunately fairly minimal for a gent of his age. He stopped the big jobs after that though, but can still be found in his natural habitat of flat-pack furniture and shelving.
He's ace, my Grandad.
