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.

We'd taken a socket off the wall.... so there were two bare wires poking out.
We needed a cup of tea, so we made sure the bare wires were well-apart and turned the power back on.
Whilst drinking my tea, I bent down to inspect something below said bare (and now live) wires
Forgetting they were there, I stood up again and brushed against them with my head.
There was a big black mark on the wall tiles after that.
