I just did some plumbing repair at home, and all I can say is that it's
the messiest and the worst home repair I've ever done. But what can i
do? it has to be done. I hope I did a good job, I wouldn't want to do it
again any time soon.

How about you? what's the worst home repair you've ever done, and what's
the lesson you learned after?

Put a 5/8" staple in my middle finger. Flush with the skin. Luckily
it went on both sides of bone, and missed it.
Had needle-nose pliers handy, grabbed it, screamed and yanked.
It was all over, and I never even felt faint.
Can't remember what I was stapling, just that I don't like that
body-piercing stuff. And I used a real stupid way to figure out which
end of my new stapler shot the staple.
I never did a bad job. If I can't do it right, I have a pro do it.
If your plumbing job doesn't leak and won't leak, and won't cause
future problems, don't worry about it.
