So last Saturday... I find myself flat on my back in the yard, seeing stars like Wiley Coyote. Trusty (Acme) power washer overturned by my side.
The remainder of the week, I sported a most-impressive shiner. I made up as many stories responding-to the "how and why" as there were inquiries; but suffice to say, it was indeed a badge of DIY ummm... haste and stupidity.
Think Safety, intrepid DIYers. And thank you, gods of Home Improvement, that it wasn't my new chainsaw!
If any of our readers have interesting DIY "war stories", I encourage you to post comments here...

My most recent accident also had to do with a power washer ... I was pw'ing my deck when I thought I might be shooting water under a door. Jumped off the deck, instead of bothering with the 3 steps, and landed wrong on a slate. Heard a bad pop that turned out to be my ankle. I'd chalked this up to my carelessness, but wonder: could our power washers know each other? Do you think there's a conspiracy?
