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.

DIY weed
I probably shouldn't be admitting this, but WTF, I'll risk it among friends eh?

Several years ago, a trip to Amsterdam provided me with a souvenir packet of Skunk #1 seeds. Spurred by a lack of consmokeables and a surplus of time, I set about creating my very own 'indoor garden' from some 2x1", MDF and bulk packs of fluorescent light fittings.

Due to the low-tech setup and restrictions on time, I only ever produced one 'crop' of 2 plants. That provided a coffee jar full of questionable tasting yet highly effective 'happy-smoke'. I considered the effects to be average-ish, but Mrs Greencloud reported actual hallucinations! I've rarely felt such pride.

How sad I am that an ill-timed last-minute holiday required me to destroy the cloning operation I'd developed,(for fear of burning the house down) losing a potential half-kilo per month.
