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.

Shelvingmy father is somewhat of a DIY god. he can build pretty much anything and it will last for years. his prowess, however, seems to have one downfall - shelving. having installed some shelves above my bed, he promptly tested them by loading them with an array of ridiculously heavy items, which seemed fine until the night my mate stayed over. at about one am, the whole lot collapsed on her, pinning her to the bed until one of us heard her cries for help. needless to say, she has refused to enter my room ever since.
length? 2 hours of muffled shouting beneath 300 national geographics, 50 OS maps and both my parents unabridged uni theses.
