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.

Shitty buildersWe've had a long procession of them.
A personal favourite was the bloke who 'fixed' a hole in an external wall by bricking over the outside, stuffing it with carrier bags, then plastering over the top on the inside.
Another was an evangelical Christian, and between attempts at converting me, 'fitted' our new bathroom. He laid tiles (on top of Lino) which didn't match up to any of the walls in the room at all, put normal high-voltage spotlights directly above the shower, and a whole host of other idiocies. In the end we made him take it out, and got someone more competent to do it.
