Hi'
What does everyone think about having a new section for showing where people went wrong and what they've learnt the hard way etc.
I quite often read posts that are questions on how to do things, which are generally answered very well, and I've got a lot of info from BUT I quite often start a job and then find out I don't have exactly the right tools, or there are some variables with the materials or existing structures or weather or a whole host of other things that I havn't thought of.
Also a lot of people ask if something is "easy" (which is a fairly loaded question as far as diy goes) and you get a whole lot of conflicting answers and end up more confused than you were to start with. If there was a section on mistakes/problems then you could have a bit better of an idea as to how hard something actually is and wether or not you reckon you could take it on.
I reckon it would be very handy to be able to check one section that is dedicated to where people went wrong so as to not make the same mistakes.
What do you think??
