For some, DIY has provided a rare opportunity for creativity and selfexpression. For others it has been an unwele necessity, driven purely by economic considerations. Then there has been a group which feels that a building can never be a home unless it has been altered and modified to reflect a change 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 DIYers exist today, although these various motives may now overlap very substantially. The perfectionist in search of the good job done well is often also driven by a desire for creativity. There are also two new categories of motive — the pursuit of DIY as a leisure activity and DIY as a form of occupational therapy. These , again, overlap with other reasons. DIY as necessityC) There is a significant number of young homemakers (38% of our informants) for whom there is no option but DIY. Their new home, whether bought on a mortgage which consumes a major slice of their ine, or rented at similarly challenging rates, will often require essential rearrangement and even structural repair. Some of these people are reluctant firsttime DIYers. They would much prefer to hire professionals, but can’t afford to do so. The majority, however, wele the opportunity that need has forced upon them to get involved for the first time in the real business of creating a home with all of its unfamiliar physical labour and the learning from scratch of new techniques. In time, many will migrate to one of the other categories of DIYer, continuing to exercise their new found talents and enthusiasm when no longer forced by financial constraints to do so. DIY as territorial markingD) Even those who have bought a brand new “starter home”, the type which increasingly gains popularity around the edges of our towns and cities, will feel pelled to add personal touches of a less dramatic kind to disguise its otherwise bland and expressionless nature. Putting a “personal stamp on the place” was one of the most frequently reported motives for DIY, with 72% of sample seeing this as being a very important aspect. DIY as selfexpressionE) Many young people today are frustrated artists — their latent creative talents just waiting for the chance to reveal themselves. There are also those seeking opportunities for a sense of achievement and personal fulfillment. DIY provided just such opportunities for the overwhelming majority of our informants (84%). This sense of creative achievement es both from the choices made by the firsttime DIYer — the selection of colors, textures and ponents to apply to the “canvas” of the home — and from the application of specific skills and techniques. The manufacturers of DIY materials clearly understand this and now provide a wide range of “arty” products to fuel creative urges. At the same time, they make the materials themselves much easier to 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 perfectionseeking F) A large proportion of firsttime DIYers (63%) distrust builders and decorators. They feel that most are “cowboys” and that even the more reputable ones are very unlikely to have the same loving attention to detail and care as the DIYer. 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 petence of most DIYers, particularly the younger novices in our sample.
