DIY Disasters
My brother in law once used up nine rolls of expensive wallpaper to paper a small half tiled washroom containing a loo and basin. People came from far and wide to inspect the jagged edges and mismatched patterns. 
What have you or yours done that the family have never forgotten or forgiven...

OH took a look and fiddle - no idea why these 35+ years later 😉 under the bonnet and a new recon engine was required 😲😲😲. He has just been allowed to check oil and water unsupervised.
Currently grappling with new patio table assembly. All going well except for last screw which keeps turning apparently 😲.
Generally very good at DIY and makes a jolly good job of it all 😆

I got a tad over zealous when we renovated an old caravan. We cracked on and had it all spic and span for its first trip, down to Cornwall. First night we were laid in bed, enjoying our new toy, lights out........Then the heavens opened and we had a huge deluge right over the middle of the bed from the little air vent. It was proper Cornish rain, didn't let up for hours, we had to take vent out completely, shove an umbrella up the hole and then carefully open it, tied off to something to stop it blowing away! Cue much hilarity amongst our friends and neighbour's on the CL next morning! I had to confess to unscrewing the vent to give it a good clean, little realising I had cracked the old sealant on the outside!
Once the rain stopped, it took 10 minutes to sort out, a line of new sealant, screwed back up, but friends have never let me forget it! The moral is..........don't be over zealous with old vans, they can be a tad temperamental!0 -
