numerous and complex. for some, diy has provided a rare opportunity for creativity and self-expression. for others it has been an unwelcome necess,itdyriven purely by economic considerations. then there has been a groupwhich feels that a building can never be a home unless it has been altered and modified to reflect achange of occupancy. a final group has traditionally taken the line that if you want a job done well, you must do it yourself.b) the same four basic species of edrisyexist toda,yalthough these various motives may nowoverlap very substantia.llythe perfectionist in search of the good job done well is often also driven by a desire for creati.vtithyere are also two new categories of motivthee pursuit of diy as a leisure activity and diy as a form of occupational

whether bought on a mortgage which consumes a major slice of their income, or rented at similarly challengingrates, will often require essentialto use the diy equivalent of painting by numbers. special paint effects, which once required the specialist knowledge and training of the true professional, can now be achieved straight out of the can with a simple brush.diy as perfection-seekingf) a large proportion of first-time dieyrs (63%) distrust builders and decorators. they feel that most are“ cowboys” and that even the more reputable ones are very unliktheelystaomheave loving attention to detail and care as the deiry. within this group there were those who were content for builders to perform basic or structural work and to undertake tasks such as plastering which are beyond the competence of mosetrds,iyparticularly the younger novices in our sample. the finishing work, however,was somethingthesepeoplekept for themselves the final “ perfecting” of what otherwise would be just a mediocre result.rearrangement and even structural repair. some of these people are reluctant first-teimrse. diyg) this drive for perfection was also evident among thein this gro“ups.trtiphpeeirdsea

dull routinesofweekday work to constitute a weekend break. the results of such activity were rewarding, but probably less so than engaging in the activity itself.diy as therapyachievement and personal

way of switching off and using the repetitive nature of many diy tasks as a way of relaxing.others “hinatretyd a”t a similar process, where diy was almost an end in itself, rather than just a means to

most young diy beginners are not competent for plastering.67. a brand new“starter hom”ebecomes more and more popular around the border of towns and cities.68. besides the traditional motives of diy , the new categories of motive include the pursuit of diy as a leisure activ.ity69. to those young homemakers, buying a new home on mortgage is as challenging as renting a house.70. about
