Not current, but the ones I can think of -
* Had all the floorboards up in the gutted bathroom sorting out the dry rot, hopping around on the joists I slipped and went through the floor / kitchen Ceiling..
* Hanging half the doors in my house upside down (luckily visitors spotted before the handles / locks went on!)
* Sticking heavy porclain tiles up on my unsealed plastered bathroom walls and getting a call from a very vexed wife when one fell on her, and another breaking the toilet cistern, a few days later
* Spent a couple of weeks putting replacing the whole central heating pipework for the house, my crowning glory switching it on @ Sunday 9pm I failed to solder "the most" akward joint in a section of pipework not accessible when soldered, re-pressurising the system and all of a sudden bang! water everywhere - Up until the early hours fixing (and working in the morning!)
* Super gluing the Vauxhall badge back onto the car I stuck two fingers together, ran back inside and in my haste tripped on the kerb and fell fracturing my ribs
