No one can avoid DIY for ever. One day you'll look at the stained plaster, the wonky garden fence or the hole in the door where the cat flap should be and think, 'Why pay someone else when I can do it myself?' It's at that moment that you have heard the call of DIY.
DIY is a fact of modern life. But it's not just about improving your home; it's also about improving your life. From wiring a plug to laying a patio, successful DIY is a state of mind. It's as much about fixing the leak as knowing how to stay sane and, above all, amuse.
"An immensely useful DIY manual which you must read, if only to put off doing any. The subject has never been so entertaining. " Kevin McCloud
