El Presidente Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Police in Gumperda, Germany, arrested a 64-year-old retired do-it-yourselfer in November after he drilled through a neighbor's wall in their duplex home. The man had spent two days trapped in his own basement, where he had laid bricks and mortar for a room but apparently forgot to leave himself an exit.

cigcars Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 *And I thought those old cartoons showing somebody setting a thousand mousetraps throughout the room, then finding he'd trapped himself in a little corner with no way out but...! was just a hypothetical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigFish Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 When I am working, I typically remodel department stores. Most of the interior of these buildings are non-structural, steel frame and drywall construction. Most of the decks (floors above) are 14 feet or greater above the floor. As a result, the framers use scissor lifts for their "full height" wall framing. I watched one of my crew actually frame, wall and tape themselves (their scissor lift) into a fitting room one time. I wanted to see how long it would take them to figure it out and the electricians and I had a pool going! Pretty damn funny watching them cut a hole in the wall that they just built to drive out the lift!!! -Piggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcse Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 The father of a childhood friend once built a canoe in the attick... He actually had to and did open part of the roof to get rid of it. The fact that he was a professor in nuclear science obviously did not rule out stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sloth Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 my step-brother (notice the "step" not blood related) poured cement in his house for a new shower floor. He forgot to cover the water drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
