DIY disasters

Is anyone else as shit at DIY as me?  Just decided to respray the garden fence today with one of those spray guns which I borrowed from my brother.  He warned me to put a sheet on the other side of the fence to catch the overspray but me being a clever twat thought I'd save time by not bothering.  10 mins later and nextdoors door is splattered in Harvest Brown Cuprinol.  Tried all ways to get it off - even turps doesn't work.  Rang my brother whose advice was to spray the entire door so it wouldn't stand out as much  :-[  Dunno how I'm gonna explain it to the neighbours.

 

This comes almost a year to the day after I put my foot through our living room ceiling after having the bedroom floorboards lifted to fit a new electric socket.

 

My efforts to save us money are rapidly becoming more costly.

Not being expected to be good at DIY is one of the reasons I love being a woman.

 

That said, I managed to hook up with the only one of 4 brothers who is terrible around the house. :no:

How do you know for sure? Are you saying you've tried the other three out already?
