Can you share some funny diy stories?

There was this DIY project where I wanted to make a small wooden box. I was using a power saw for the first time. I got a bit too confident and cut a piece too short. So I tried to glue it back together and make it work. But when I put some weight on the box, it just fell apart. It was a total mess and a big lesson in being more careful with DIY.

One diy horror story is about a girl who decided to renovate an old attic by herself. As she was tearing down a wall, she found a hidden diary. When she started reading it at night, she could swear she heard whispers that seemed to be responding to the words in the diary. It was so terrifying that she dropped the diary and ran out of the attic, never to return again.

Sure. I once painted my room by myself. I didn't use enough drop cloths. So I ended up with paint all over my floor. It took me hours to clean it up. What a mess!

There was a case where someone attempted DIY dental surgery. They thought they could pull out a loose tooth on their own. They used pliers, which were not designed for this purpose. They ended up breaking the tooth and causing damage to the gum. Blood was everywhere, and the pain was unbearable. Later, they had to endure a long and expensive dental procedure to fix the mess.

The Oculus Rift is another example. It was initially funded through crowdfunding. The idea of bringing immersive virtual reality to the masses was appealing. The developers offered different tiers of rewards for backers, from early - bird access to the device to having their names in the credits. They also shared regular updates during the development process. This transparency and the allure of being part of a revolutionary technology led to a very successful crowdfunding campaign and ultimately changed the VR industry.

A couple, where the male had a low sperm count, turned to DIY IUI. They made sure to keep the sperm sample in the optimal conditions during the process. They also used ovulation prediction kits accurately to time the insemination. Their determination and attention to detail paid off as they achieved a successful pregnancy through DIY IUI. DIY IUI can be a viable option for some couples facing certain fertility challenges.

A woman had a really bad credit situation. Her credit score was so low that she couldn't even rent an apartment without a co - signer. She began her DIY credit repair journey by signing up for a credit monitoring service. This helped her keep track of any changes in her credit report. She then focused on reducing her credit utilization ratio. Instead of using most of her available credit, she started using only a small portion. She also worked on paying off any collections or delinquencies. After months of hard work, her credit score improved enough for her to rent an apartment on her own and also get a small personal loan at a reasonable interest rate.

Sure. One horror story is about a person who tried to extract their own tooth at home. They used pliers and ended up breaking the tooth off unevenly, causing intense pain and bleeding. It got infected later and they had to go to the emergency room.

Sure. One success story is of a person who decided to do a post - bacc after working in an unrelated field for years. They were passionate about medicine but lacked the pre - med requirements. Through a diy post - bacc program, they studied hard, took all the necessary science courses, and got excellent grades. Eventually, they were accepted into a top - tier medical school and are now a successful doctor.

There was a person who made a DIY bed bug trap. They took a large plate, put some double - sided tape in the middle, and placed a small piece of meat or a cotton ball soaked in blood (from a butcher) in the center. The bed bugs were attracted to the smell and got stuck on the tape. By regularly checking and replacing the bait, they were able to catch a large number of bed bugs and eventually got rid of them completely.
