was looking for a DIY thread
couple of funnies came in to my head
one of my uncles used to run his own business, he was a brilliant builder, could do anything.
When he was in his late teens he built a huge conservatory for his folks, however as he finished he stood on the roof and shouted to my dad.
"what do you think of that? Brilliant isnt it"
My dad swears on his life that within about 1 second his brother fell straight through the roof and landed on my Grandad. It was pretty horrific at the time but hilarious now.
Another one of my dad's brothers was nowhere near as good at DIY, his wife used to say "he couldnt put a nail in the wall".
My dad went over to stay with him just after he got married, his brother got a new carpet laid in his room for him. However, the carpet was that thick the bedroom door wouldnt close. So Dad's brother decides to fix things, he amazes everyone by taking the door off, measuring it carefully and cutting a perfectly straight line with just the right amount taken off. He is delighted with himself, until he goes to put the door back up and realizes he has cut the top of the door and not the bottom. Frustrated he just left the door up against the wall and stormed off.
