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.

HelpThis is about my Dad, when he was young.
My grandfather was doing something in the garden that involved carrying heavy things about. For the sake of the anecdote, let's say he was building a rockery. He was struggling with some of his lithic lifting. The boy who would become my Dad watched from a little distance away.
"Some help would be nice," gasped Granddad, straining at one particularly large lapidary lump.
"Right-ho," said Dad. "I'll get Mum."
