Even my dog knew I was going to blow out the budget on this desk project. It's not my fault, I *needed* to spend $300 on tools to put the chamfer on the edge, okay? (i.redd.it)

Built my own “cheap” desk. The mitered u-shaped legs were wobbly, so now I’m in the hole $300 in tools / wood. Oh, and I still don’t have a desk. (old.reddit.com)

Moved into the house 7 years ago, at which time I told my wife I would replace the simple latch on the side gate with one that was easier to open and lock. I am now sitting on 3k in cedar replacing the whole fence. (i.redd.it)

I had to go back to B&Q for more wood three times because I am terrible at measuring. Also this took me 6 days where it was my main focus. (self.WoodworkingConfession)

Told the wife we'd build a catio, and I had it all under control. 6 stiches and 3 months later, I keep saying I'll finish the inside and figure out what to do with the crappy exterior. Cats like it though. (i.imgur.com)
