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.

A guy I once knew......was not too good at DIY, or gardening for that matter.
He attempted to remove some stubborn weeds from his front garden through the use of a blowtorch - and set his entire hedge on fire.
Thick black smoke billowed across one of the major roads into Edinburgh, which was closed off while the Fire Brigade put out the flames.
He then gave up on gardening altogether from that day onwards - leaving a completely charred hedge proudly on display ever since.

An amateur!I weed with a blowtorch and it's great! Perfect for the little buggers that poke up between paving slabs.
