I tried to build a bed once. I assumed that a 2x4 was actually 2inches by 4inches. Bought & cut all the pieces. Realized after the fact that they weren't going to join up correctly. It seems a common enough mistake.http://www.hbsdealer.com/article/lowes-ordered-pay-2x4-settlement …

my best so far is rather than paying the $800 quote to repair our water heater i took it apart, replaced the thermocoupler, and re-lit the pilot, at a cost of about $10. even more worth it though spiritually to discover that water heaters are just pots of water on top of a stove

And the thermocouple is 70% the problem when your water heater isn't working

Built my bedroom-inside-giant-cold-warehouse. Financially worth it because only other option was... sleep on the floor in a cold giant warehouse? Desk and sofa downstairs, giant bed and tv upstairs.pic.twitter.com/EJQ6oeLQHo

My uncle did oddly sized window screens to keep out mosquitos in my apartment (necessary-ish because wife is allergic). Yards of screen+flashing+nails. Doing it professionally would be very expensive, due to size and not-setup-for-screens windowframes.

Also, my dairy farmer father had a cow wheel built for fixing displaced abomasum (torqued intestine, fixed by rolling the cow over). Made of pipe and flat bar. Dairy farms generally have a lot of this, enough so to have a professional handyman on staff.

Platform bed frame. Built entirely from Home Depot cut plywood and molding. Turned out fine and was inexpensive. Used hand tools only.
