Economic times are tough. Do-it-yourself (DIY) projects are popular to save money. But never let a woman try to do a man's job. It will cost you more in the end. Hailing from Minneapolis, Carol Taddei is the perfect example. She tried to install her own toilet for a few hundred dollars, but the job ended up costing $3,000 to have a man come and fix it.
[NYTimes.com] Her master bedroom toilet began to break down and so she thought she'd do some Home Depot-ing to take care of it. Initially things looked good, until the room's ceiling below the new toilet collapsed. Back to Home Depot!
In her plight, Carol starting driving like other women we have featured, and tore the bumper off her car frantically leaving her garage.
Later, as a result of her skills, a bunch of shelves holding flower pots and garden tools collapsed on her head.
Realizing she was defeated, Carol called in a local emergency service: Mr. Handyman.
After 3 days of confusion, Carol's house was restored. The bill? $3,000. Next time, call that Mr. Handyman first.
My guess is she forgot to replace the wax bowl ring. She should have gone here.

The funny thing is that Keisha owned a pink tool box when we got married.
