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.

my loft-y thingthe upstairs at my house is just as good as a cellar.
The acceses is by a pull down staircase and there are lots of lovely hold-the-ceiling-up bits of wood that I'd just love to tie someone to.
But the best bit is that when it was renovated and the plasterboard lining was put in, the builder didn't want to go all the way to the egde of the slanty walls so the last 60cm or so is perpendicular to the floor. This soumds perfectly normal, but he put little doors on the resulting crawlspace and even provided them with locks and me with the keys.
So one day I am going to trick someone into getting in there and I'm going to lock it. If they're really good (I don't know what that entails whilst locked in a lightless space just big enough to crawl around on your stomach, but I'll figure it out) I may just let them out one day.
if you looked at the door-thingy's that's what you'd be thinkning too, that's why you're here.
