This is a question DIY disasters

I 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.

some bright spark...
used a golden virginia tin as a junction box in the roofspace of my first house, with cables twisted together inside. i only discovered this when putting some boxes up there and came against the cable causing firework-like sparkage. the same flongtard had run the cooker socket off the lighting circuit. and the ring main came out of one way on the C.U. and back in another! sheesh and double sheesh!
