    I think my worst DIY fail was a plumbing job. Ended up with a leak, but a wrench and plumber’s tape saved the day. Now, I leave the big stuff to the pros. πŸ˜‚

            Once I tried installing shelves and drilled into the wrong spot, hitting a wire! I had to patch the hole, reroute the wire, and triple-check with a stud finder before drilling againβ€”lesson learned the hard way! πŸ˜…
