Well if they do embark on a home improvement project, it's a ticking time bomb born of incompetence. Someone had a bathroom project thread the other day, and it had impending doom written all over it. I will hand it to one (and only one) DUmmy, Hasin Bin Sober. He seems to know what he's doing in this arena. He gives overwhelmingly detailed instructions to the DUmmies, though, and I know their eyes glaze over before absorbing it.
