I am up way too early on a sunday, waiting for workmen to arrive. Did I manage to be sensible and go to bed early and sober, did I hell.
Still, better than having to do the work myself.
Question: Tell me your DIY disasters,or alternatively why you are up so early/late

My biggest DIY disaster was when I tried to fit a new, larger loft hatch - it took me fucking months to get it in properly, and as soon as I'd done it a builder looked at it and said " Jesus, I hope you spoke to a structural engineer before removing that joist" - I hadn't, but the house is still standing.
And I'm up so early because when I went downstairs to get a glass of water at 5am I thought I'd just have a quick look on /b/, and I'm still here :-(

I've been up since 6 and I've already done the dishes, tidied up and hoovered.

Two pints of Guinness and half a bottle of wine. But I only ate a cheese sandwich and a bag of crisps all day.

This involved removing the roof, adding another floor, then putting the roof back on, whilst we were living in it.
We started by removing the outer skin of bricks, because it doesn't carry any weight and it was all being changed. So we spent a Saturday knocking and tapping all these bricks out and stacking them to be sold (3000bricks, 10p each), then sat down in the lounge with a cuppa.
My Dad sat his capacious arse on the sofa, the pressure wave surged through the room and was just powerful enough to push both windows out of their frames, now that they weren't really being supported by anything.
