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.

Joe's Grandad... (cont from Joes Dad on page 2)Joe's dad inherrited his Scary DIY logic from his own father.
Joe once recouted the final trip with is grandfather's car.. A thing of many botched repairs following his grandad's habit of driving into things.
Stopped in trafic mid-town, he got heavily shunted by a truck. Joe was fine, but a bit worried that his grandad's car was finally dead. He got out of the car and found a rather bewildered yet apologetic trucker looking at the car.. and more importantly the large amount of concrete that appeared to be surrounding the car.
Turns out that his grandad had become a dab-hand at filling his car's dents with quick-drying concrete and then Filling the pourous surface with poly-filler before spraying over it all.
Genius - with a touch of senility.
