Worst ever DIY disaster. (And I've had a few).
In my previous home totally replaced an old bathroom with a beautiful white suite, black granite floor tiles etc (which I had to hire a special tool to cut). Final (simple) job was to screw in a door threshold strip. Found however that I was one screw short and so instinctively reached for my hammer and pounded in a na ...[text shortened]... plumber to replace a section of pipe, I had to pull up some of the lovely floor tiles.
Nightmare.

Lesson learned? 🤔
10 Jul '19 15:22@great-big-stees saidA week or two later I was cutting a hole in a new worktop, (for the sink) which I had balanced across the kitchen units, and managed to saw through one of the new cupboard doors I had only just hung. (Cost me 80 quid to replace).
Lesson learned? 🤔

10 Jul '19 16:02@wolfe63 saidYes, that's true, it makes us wonder... what's going on...?
Oh my Lollo, that must have been terrifying!!
About 6 months ago, I stood at an ATM and absolutely could not remember my PIN. I had to drive home and ask my wife! I felt so stupid. I mean, I use my debit card practically every day.
I felt that maybe early-onset dementia was in the works. Scary stuff.
Happily, nothing like that's occurred since.
