Lol. Well done!
My last mistake was designing a piece of wood to go where there was

When you've cut out a particularly intricate piece of lining paper
to go around an obstruction, apply paste to the correct side.
Or when you've designed and etched a printed circuit board with the IC
pins the wrong way round, so that you have to bend all the pins the
other way up.
Ah,,thats like the classic mistake in model aircraft construction..two

My last mistake was in not realising that on a mains pressurised water
system, although turning the mains off stops the water...flushing a
toilet and allowing the ball valve to open will result in a loss of
vaccuum and scalding hot water gushing out of the hot water pipe you
have just cut off to add a new bit onto..until the tank drains down a
bit too..
