Destination DIY is a radio show and podcast about all kinds of creativity. To kick off our next season of shows, we’re putting together an episode called “DIY Disasters”. Here’s where you come in. We want to hear your best DIY disaster story and we've partnered with Instructables.com to create the DIY Disasters Challenge. Did you have a project that went wrong in more ways than you thought possible? Did you start something and realize you were in way over your head?
