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.

Super-Absorbent -- It's No Lie!The spouse is fairly handy around the house, but even the best make mistakes every now and again.
One evening, a few days after he'd fixed the bathroom sink, I felt some water on the floor. A quick check of the area revealed water leaking from under the door of the sink cabinet and further inspection showed that he hadn't tightened everything as well as he'd thought.
So why hadn't we noticed for nearly three days?
The cabinet under the sink was where I stored my 'feminine hygiene products', as they say, and I had bought several boxes of them recently during a particularly good sale. They'd done their job admirably, absorbing almost all of the leaking water and leaving the cabinet relatively undamaged.
I keep those elsewhere now and make sure the husband has an extra go at tightening things before he declares a job complete.
