blundertaking (noun): blunder + undertaking = the act or endeavor of one who embarks on a task, project or pursuit that he or she is almost surely doomed to screw up; however, the blundertaker, compelled by the remote possibility of success (aka a 1% chance), feels driven to attempt anyway. See here and here. And see here as I continue to attempt do-it-yourself plumbing today.
(Maybe say a prayer.)

The terror is palpable.

Weird? Or a side effect of the rapture? You decide.
Into the breach!

@Alistair Amazing. You're so quick with wordfuses. You must have the same love-hate relationship with puns that I do.
Very nice. I'll have to admit that I've taken part in blundertakings before. As a man, and even more so, as a husband, how coudl I not?
Blundertaking and Blundertaker which one describes you're attempt at do-it-plumbing :-).
Remember, gum only works in movies.
