I have to tell someone...

Haha... Very funny!

Once my friend removed the shock with spring attached from his discovery.

He didnt have spring compressors, so used a vice to clamp the spring to remove it from the shock.

It slipped... And shot off like a missile... Straight out of the garage through the roof! Through the tiles, in the air and landed on the neighbours car!!!

Just remembered one of my old friends had to take a few days off at turn of the century.

Apparently his dad had been using an electric plane to shave off the bottom of a door between his legs. It moved with the result the plane took off the top of his knee cap... makes me still wince thinking about it today

Just remembered one of my old friends had to take a few days off back in 2000

Apparently his dad had been using an electric plane to shave off the bottom of a new door between his legs. It moved with the result the plane took off a large chink off the top of his knee cap... makes me still wince thinking about it today

Not quite Diy but it may raise a smile.

I received a panicky phone call from my Dad,something about his car but I couldn't work out what the problem was.
I nipped round to see what the problem was.

It turned out the previous night (December) he was giving a visitor a lift home,started the car put on the demisters and cleared the windows with a tin of de-icer he keeps in the garage for just such a journey.

(Can you see what it is yet?)

Turns out he had de-iced the windows with a can of grey primer spray paint and needed a hand to wire wool the windows so he could get to work.

Its always puzzled me how he managed to drive it the night before.

Not really DIY, but I was cutting the back grass once, finished a cigarette before starting which I flicked behind the shed as I had done countless times... Went to put the mower back in the shed and noticed smoke - forgot I had piled some junk wood behind there the week before, wood & shed on fire, hose in shed... Cue hilarious firefighting with a small plastic bowl. Shed survived... But as a result is now rotting from water ingress over winter so will need replaced soon

a few years ago i was removing an electric cooker hood from the kitchen we were about to renovate. Being in the electrickery game i diligently pulled the fuse of the fused spur that was supplying the cooker hood and proceeded to cut the twin core with my side cutters! BANG! WTF the twats before me had wired up the fused spur wrongly and missed out the fuse entirely.

Moral of the story, check for dead or possibly be dead!

When I was a telecom engineer a customer complained that the bells in his wall phone kept tinging occasionally I found that whoever had fitted it had screwed the bracket to a mains cable so the whole metal back was live and the bell magneto was picking it up and tinging :roll:
