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.

@AlthegeordieAre you actually my long-lost cousin? My grandad did stuff like this too, except that he nailed a bit of wood onto his ladder to hook over the ridge of his shed roof when painting it. It was a corrugated iron roof, which he painted every ten years or so with black bitumen paint.
It failed.
He fell off.
Twice. Twenty years apart.
The first time he spilled the paint over the cat. The second time it went over himself.
