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.

I'm not THAT bad at DIY.....
though it does have to be said, I am not the best. But I know my limits! I know nothing about plumbing. Therefore, when our heating was less than amazing at staving off the harsh Scottish winter, it was decided that it was broken and a professional should be called. I'm no hero, and I can easily admit my own shortcomings in the home-heating department.
However.
Having a highly trained, fully qualified professional plumber arrive at your home and spend half an hour teaching you to light your fire properly is a humbling experience.
