This is a question 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.

Tell us of your own DIY disasters.

Ahem...
Thirty minutes in the cold trying to persuade numb fingers to ping a retaining spring open so I could replace a headlight bulb and I was getting nowhere. The headlamp unit requires six, double jointed fingers to get near it.

I have no shame in admitting I asked my long suffering G/f to assist.

And she did it, first time...
