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.

Glue earMy son, Destructo-Boy had the same thing - big rubbery plug behind his eardrum. Because I knew itchiness, mondowax and frequent surgery happens with the grommets (we call 'em tubes, here) I refused.
We just went with the deafness and learned sign.
When he was bigger, I took him to specialist who removed the plug from the inside: went through his mouth and up his Eustachian tube and sucked it out with a little rubber hose. Lots of black stinky goo accompanying.
