You mean your self proclaimed perfection has been extremely exaggerated. 😉

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? 🤔

A few years ago, when taking the usual walk, for some inexplicable reason I chose to deviate from the normal route, and ended up totally lost in the lake district where I live. Had to be traced by police helicopter and picked up by police car.

A 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).

Lol, wow!!

You are lucky that you were rescued. I've watched survival shows where the smallest of blunders lead to a horrific adventure, that can end in death.

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.

Yes Rusty, you're RHP's master of clever word-play. We get it.

Sorry if I stepped on your fingers there pal.

Would that I could. I went to the market just across the street. Do you think I was smart enough to take my phone?
