Once tried to paint my front door and fucked it up so badly that a professional had to sand it down. Cost me more than a workman would have done in the first place.

    Success: digging out and leveling the whole previously hilly and uneven front section of the house, then weed proofing and filling in with stones, trimmed with bricks and a pathway. And a little corner space for low maintenance plants like a prickly pear tree and aloe types. Also a couple of pots. I guess that’s pretty cool. I like it.

    Failure: definitely the bit of roof that I waterproofed. Which then leaked anyway and wrecked the ceiling. Which was then followed with even more waterproofing and the ceiling being repaired. Which leaked again during the next heavy rain. But not enough to completely waste the ceiling this time at least though. And now the roof is like 90% waterproofing materials and the leak seems to finally be actually gone.
