I'll see to that, dear......

We're spending more and more on DIY apparently, and yet how many of us are really competent at it? The number of bodge jobs you see - and not just small jobs. There's a bloke near where I live who is building an extension to his house. He's doing it himself - has been in fact for the past two years - and making a right pig's-ear of it. And what's the point? Far from adding to the value of his house, he's actually detracting from it. Best get a man in, and if you can't afford to do so, put it on the back burner until you can.
