Regularly updated DIY guides, a look at the often strange world of DIY news, the worst DIY disasters you've ever seen, some of the best DIY tools we've found on our travels and extensive how-to guides about everything DIY.
The whole point of this blog is to help you guys with your DIY questions and to explain it all in the most entertaining and easiest way to understand. Unfortunately there are those people who don’t choose take advice, think they don’t need any help when it comes to doing DIY or – and there’s no easy way to put this – are just plain stupid. Take, for example, this cutting tool fail that we posted a while back. Thankfully the Internet is awash with videos like this, although it really does make you despair for the future of our species! On the positive side though it gives us perfect fodder for a blog post on DIY fails, and a bit of a laugh too!
Roof Repair Fail
There are two main things that you should do when you clamber up on a roof to assess damage or carry out any repairs;
Use a decent ladder that’s big enough to have at least some length over when it reaches the roof.
Don’t do it on your own. Have somewhere there to support the ladder when you’re climbing up and down it.
This guy does neither of those things. In fact, he uses a step ladder! The height of the roof may not look like much, but one bad fall can do a lot of damage regardless of the height you fall from.
