If you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

sink
I moved into a new fat and was spending my first night there. The bathroom was wallpapered over the top half and up to waist height there was wood paneling on the lower part of the walls, with a dado rail.
I had a shower, dried off and started brushing my teeth. Leaning on the sink I ripped the thing off the wall - turned out the landlord had fixed the sink to the flimsy wood paneling but not the wall behind it. The copper pipes folded over and one split, pissing cold water everywhere.
Tip for the future - know where the stop valve is for your water supply. This will save running round your new flat whilst naked, peering into cupboards etc trying to find it.
