Default What's your most stupid DIY cockup?

Mine has to be taking the waste pipe off the sink and cleaning it under
running water in the same sink without a plug in. Every single time.


I have a memorable DIY 'near miss'. I was sawing through my mum and dad's
kitchen units, with a view to making it easier to rip them out. As I was
getting near the floor, and going through the trim at the bottom, I thought
I'd take a look behind, to see if anything was in the way. There, right
under the blade was the plastic mains water feed pipe, coming into the
kitchen some two feet away from the wall. Am I ever glad I stopped at that
moment.
