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 :-(
