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.

My D.I.Y disasters1. My wife asked me to knock 2 rooms into one, so I removed the lounge ceiling.
2. I built a conservatory from clingfilm and drinking straws. (If the planning officer asks, its a windowbox, ok?)
3. To save wasting time using wallpaper paste, I simply stapled the paper to the wall.
4. I ran out of polyfilla whilst plugging gaps in the wall. So I used batter. Now every hot day, I get the urge for pancakes.
5. When a fuse blew in the consumer unit in my hall, due to the absence of 5amp fusewire, I substituted a 3 inch nail.
I can now power a small nuclear reactor without blowing the circuit, but my domestic appliances have all melted.
I confess to being worse at DIY than Robert Mugabe is at gracefully accepting defeat.

Humour with a bit of politics....This is what we need.
