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.

Over the years I've discovered a brilliant way to make moneySimply take a household appliance or self-assembly furniture and disassable it completely, carefully making note of where each screw belongs. Then put it back together again, with each screw carefully put back from whence it came.
Every time I've done this I've had at least three screws left over. If I'd bothered to do this more often and keep all the screws, I could open my own screw shop.

There's always too manyIsn't there? I hate when that happens to me, just finding screws when I thought I'd put them in their proper place.
Although having said that, you might be onto a winner here, opening a screw shop...

I, for one,would frequent your screw shop. I had to buy screws last weekend and the man in the hardware shop was looking at me very supiciously, as if I didn't belong there. (Admittely, I handed him a rawl plug and asked him for "ten of whatever fits that".)
