What 'daft' DIY error have you made (with amusing outcome, rather than disastrous!)

In one location the central heating pipes were directly below the floor boards.
As a "I rather pay a work-person to do it", 60+ wee woman, even me I know there's a gizmo that sounds if there are pipes or wires behind something.
Actually, I'm pretty sure I have one in a cupboard, just in case a work-person needs it ... :laugh:

not an error as such.So today was a slow painting day,woodwork, white undercoat on white satinwood.Four doors, door frames,window sill,spindles skirting boards and stair treads.Well i began at 09-40 a break for lunch forty five mins,finished at 15-45 then up with dust sheets and a quick hoover up.Then a shave and shower.Now i normally drape my towel over the banister and let the sunshine from the window dry it,not today just painted it.So for the first time ever since 2007 when we had the upstairs extension put in bedroom a landing a storage cupboard banister and a shower room with a toilet and sink,i hung my heavy wet towel on the hook on the door,the friggin hook fell off.Friggin hollow door,was i mad you bet,i was tired it had been a long day,so moved the hook up i trifle and screwed it back.The towel is hanging on the painting step ladders.
