Always call a plumber,,,,,,,, Had a habit of tapping the plastic pipes underneath the sink when it got blocked to loosen blockage. Thought I'd try that once on the blocked toilet! Didn't think that it was ceramic, and used solid dumbell to tap with! Not cutey cutey.

In the worst storm in years with gale force winds, when a tree falls through the window of the side door to the garage, do not open the 5m wide cedar tilta door to have a look at the damage. And when the wind catches the door and rips it off its fixings, do not try to catch it!

When you decide to dismantle the swimming pool and think it would be a good idea to get someone to use the water to water blast the roof tiles, if you are on tank water make sure that you have blocked the downpipes. Still the tank was probably due to be cleaned out anyway. And then when you decide to pump the remaining water out into the street gutter don't take the house with a join through the sleepout bedroom.

annuver 1 copied from sil's facebook page - currently staying in a motel on the sunshine coast! Make sure the spa is not too full before hitting the spa button. It is however good for blowing out the candles,washing the floor,cleaning the mirror.

Putting on a load of wet washing to warm the room when using emamel paint to paint the doors is a really dumb idea. Unless you like the 'crackle' effect on your flush panel doors.

NEVER use a bench saw before midday after working all night until 6am that same morning.But if you must, remember that the bench saw WILL take your thumb off if you reach into the blade to pick up the off cut on your final cut for the day.

Always make sure the power is off or that the wires hanging out of the ceiling have insulation tape wrapped around them before painting the ceiling. As the live wires you stick arm on while cutting in will knock you off the ladder.

if you are only 4' 9" with large breasts don't use a 2 man post hole driller in ground that is full of bricks.You are just the right height for our prize assets to go over the hand hold bar when leaning to put all your weight on the machine.Not so funny when you hit a brick and find yourself laying on the ground 3 metres away rubbing your chest in pain.

Never ever, no matter how many wines have been consumed, put bubble bath into a glass enclosed spa bath. One has to beat the bubbles down with a towel so that one can breath.

Lol smoocher, many years ago while staying at a motel, after a few wines I thought a good plan would be to have a bubble spa bath and flung in all the sachets of bubble stuff, turned on spa bath and water and left the room. It was a sunken tub and I came back to bubbles for miles lol. It was one sachet per tub. It still makes me laugh when I think of it. Blimmen idiot. My motto is still if all else fails read instructions.

when testing a new portable electric stove don't do it on the real stove. becuase by habit you might turn on the real stove's knobs and wait for it to turn hot. and low and behold it melts the underside of your new portable stove which is now a very smelly paperweight

when moving in to a new house don't assume the giant switch with a red sticker on the inside wall of the kitchen turns on and off some broken light somewhere. becuase for some reason it might be for the fridge. and generally the bulb in the fridge not turning on might indicate the fridge not being on opposed to the bulb just coincidentally "blowing" and after you discover the fridge is infact no longer 'on' turning on and off all the fuses for the house is not going to turn on that odd switch. WHO PUTS A SWITCH FOR THE FRIDGE on the opposite wall by the door! obviously the same people that put the wastemaster switch on the opposite wall where the sink is.

when cutting steel. especially rusted stuff its best to do away from your pristine driveway as it really sticks, and even water blasting wont get rid of that "weird orange-red patch" and when your god son visits and says "your driveway appears to be menstruating" don't die laughing as everyone will ask why. and repeating the driveway is menstruating is not nearly as funny and comes out far more creepy from an adult

when painting concrete floors with epoxy work quickly. especially on a warm day but not so quickly that you step backwards in to the paint tray and its great advice to start in the corners of the room. but the corners AWAY from where the door to exit is. painting yourself in is a really bad look and make sure all the skiting boards are masked off AND the doors, since they jump in the path of your roller too.

hubby was an experienced boner with AFFCO came home one evening and sheepishly revealed large dressing on inner thigh close to family jewels.Nurse at hospital told him a few more centimetres to theright and he'd have performed his own vascetomy!

Hubby proudly announced he was going to save us some $$$ and build a wooden fence around our property. When I left he had all the gears: ladder, wood, nails, electric saw thingee all plugged up etc.When I came home there was a very partial fence and an embarassed hubby.Whilst up the ladder, he swung the electric saw up to cut the wood to size.Couldn't understand it when the saw died.He'd managed to cut the cord of the saw.

The plug of my expensive Kenwood mixer required replacing.I asked hubby nicely if he could do the job."But of course" he responded.I was mortified upon returning from shopping to find he had the damn thing in a hundred pieces (true!).Then he put it back together - and new plug.Lovely.Then I decided to make a cake.When I switched it on all I could hear was tick, tick, kerplunk.:(He'd murdered it.

when jumping up scaffolding and you leverage yourself up in a way that you end up sitting on your bum one level higher make sure your credit card is not in one back pocket and your cellphone in the other really hurts stabbing you in the bum and the other will just snap. and rolling around in pain from the bum stab will find you landing on the grass 5 feet below. almost like a slapstick comedy class except noone else knew what was going on until i explained to the people around me that i got stabbed in the bum
