DIY your home

Visited an Englishman's residence today and surprised to find out that he had DIY the new place.

Carpentry works to make cabinets, table, etc.
Painting work to the walls.
Decorations pieces such as mirrors.
Plumbing work of replacing the old pipes and taps.

According to him, it is very common back in UK for house owner to go DIY. Its cheaper this way, he remarked.

Come to think of the local scene, local man does not know how to use a hammer, a saw or nails anymore. Anything, just give a call to the contractor to fix things up.

Although I'm technically trained, but I would still give the contractor a call.
Its just a n issue of time vs dollars.
