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.

record breaking fail.i remember in days of yore when me and another pimply faced herbert we shall call pj, were called upon by his folks to put up a bunch of shelves in their lounge in return for monies with which to purchase beer. being about 16 we leapt at the chance to earn illicit beer tokens, so we obliged. after several hours of concentrated swearing, we managed to put up said shelves.. things of beauty they were, as flat and level as vanilla ice's flat-top, and generally considered a resounding success.
how we grinned as we popped the first cans of our trusty beverage du jour, strongbow.
how we scarpered when the shelf loaded with old and very precious vinyl decided to come out of the wall revealing the fact the drillbit we used was clearly too big, and the matchsticks we'd used to plump up the rawlplug were exposed.
we still finished the booze though!
