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.

Treeless treehouseI remember when I was little I had a huuuge tree in my back garden. I loved that tree. Til one day my dad decided to chop it down... I was quite sad about it but what made it worse was the fact that about a month later he told me how he'd always wanted to build me a tree house. Now this seemed quite stupid to me as he'd just destroyed the main thing you need to make a TREE house... But no fear! He had a plan. He decided to make the tree house on stilts and to make it even cooler, create a slide so that when I wanted to get down I could slip my way to freedom. So he made the house, gave it some legs, made a wooden slide which he put at the back and I have to be fair, it looked pretty cool...though dangerous. The only thing wrong with it was that he gave up half way through so it was basically a box on legs, with no hole at the back yet so I couldn't slide down (I had to climb up the slide to get to the top) plus the slide was made of wood so I got lots of splinters in my ass... I think I'd rather just kept the tree.
