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.

A few years backthe ex and I had had (yet another) fall-out which, as it so often did, saw me retreat to the spare room in a huff. She had stormed out and buggered off in the car and wnen she returned a couple of hours later, I was reading on the spare bed.
She opened the door, came in and gave me a strange look, then went out again. I was NOT speaking to her. I was undoubtedly in the right and would remain firmly in a huff until I got an apology.
She returned about a minute later with her prize.... in an unusual move, she had rushed out and bought a shelf.
It wasn't my bloody shelf. I am in a huff, I won't be putting any shelf up. No sirree bob.
She again gave me an overly theatrical evil glare and left the room, returning this time with my cordless drill. Tongue sticking out the side of her mouth, she then proceeded to reduce me to helpless fits of laughter with the worst piece of DIY I have ever seen.
If I remember rightly, the shelf never got put up that day.
Bad DIY has it's uses.....
