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.

This is a QotW answer It's not that I'm particularly bad at DIY...
I just have a habit of starting a job and abandoning it halfway through.

Case in point - the Volkswagen Scirocco that ended up with no carpets or dashboard, as I intended to replace them but couldn't be bothered.

The wall that's half-white and half-pink.

The fact that every vehicle I've ever had has had at least one cable tie added by me.

Oh, and I've just installed a lock on the back gate. Not without drilling 30 holes in the wrong places first. It now looks like a tea-strainer.

Are you sure you're not the real Gordon Brown?
