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.

Being a pedant,DIY means Do it Yourself. Now, although I'm no expert at "traditional" DIY, I have Done It Myself in terms of providing lots and lots of IT support for people, upto and including building quite a few PCs, and providing technical support - nothing like talking someone who you hardly know through e-mail configuration issues whilst you're out shopping. I'm sure many B3tans have done the same. Parents, friends, vague acquaintances have all benefited free gratis and for nothing. They've received PCs off me with legitimate MS software on worth hundreds...rarely have I been bought so much as a pint.
Which would be fine...but...WHY then do I end up paying for all the DIY that needs doing round my house ?
When are all these buggers coming round with a paint brush ?
Sure, because I work in IT, I *must* love doing it, right ?
Grr - mostly it's great being a geek / nerd but my God I'm owed some.
