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.

Halfway through renovating my house at present...My builder is an idiot.
Unfortunately I can't do these things myself, plastering, woodwork etc isn't my thing.
So the other day he takes it upon himself to remove half the kitchen tiles because... "that socket will be behind where the fridge is going and you won't be able to get to it so you'll need to move it."
EXACTLY my point!
The fridge will be plugged in to that socket. Which will be behind the fridge. So it won't get accidentally turned off.
He was supposed to be replastering the wall by the door, but no... he took it upon himself to knock the tiles off.
Breaking most of them.
And it's a design you can't get any more.
Argh!
