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.

Jacking up
Plead guilty to jacking it up. It was on high blocks anyway, but not quite high enough. Could park the car underneath and the laundry was down under too. But you had to duck your head going from front to back. Six inches would make all the difference. Unfortunately the end result was more like ten and the place did look a bit high, so I regretted it. The timber stumps did need replacing though as a few had sunk.
