For some, DIY has provided a rare opportunity f

2、or creativity and self-expression. For others it has been an unwelcome 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 traditio

3、nally taken the line that if you want a job done well, you must do it yourself.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.

4、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 necessityThere is a significant number of young homemakers (38% of our informants) (被 调查者) for whom there is no option but D

5、IY. Their new home, whether bought on a mortgage (抵押借款)which consumes a major slice of their income, or rented at similarly challenging rates, will often require essential rearrangement and even structural repair.Some of these people are reluctant first-time DIYers. They would much prefer to hire pr

6、ofessionals, but cant afford to do so. The majority, however, welcome 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 wi

7、ll 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 markingEven those who have bought a brand new “starter home“, the type which increasingly gains popularity arou

8、nd the edges of our towns and cities, will feel compelled 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 bein

9、g a very important aspect. DIY as self-expressionMany 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 oppor

10、tunities for the overwhelming majority of our informants (84%).This sense of creative achievement comes both from the choices made by the first-time DIYer the selection of colors, textures and components to apply to the “canvas“ of the home and from the application of specific skills and techniques.

11、 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 specia

12、list knowledge and training of the true professional, can now be achieved straight out of the can with a simple brush.DIY as perfection-seekingA large proportion of first-time DIYers (63%) distrust builders and decorators. They feel that most are “cowboys“ and that even the more reputable ones are v

13、ery unlikely to have the same loving attention to detail and care as the DIYer. Some had previously suffered from the alleged bodge of small builders, while others were proud of the fact that no tradesman of this kind had ever set foot in their home.Within this group there were those who were conten

14、t for builders to perform basic or structural work, and to undertake tasks such as plastering (抹水泥) which are beyond the competence of most DIYers, particularly the younger beginners in our sample. The finishing work, however, was something these people kept for themselves the final “perfecting“ of

15、what otherwise would be just a second-rate result.This drive for perfection was also evident among the “strippers“ in this group. The idea of putting wallpaper over existing paper, or even paint on the top of preceding coats, was anathema. Everything needed to be taken back to the bare plaster or th

16、e naked wood before any new decoration could be applied. Some informants recognized that this search for perfection could sometimes go too far: “Its an obsession for me really. Im never happy with anything.“The problem perfectionists face is that progress can be very slow. When perfectionists are ob

17、liged, by nagging or circumstance, to speed things up, other problems can result. DIY as leisure activityFor a significant minority of first-timers (28%), DIY is seen as a novel and entertaining pastime. It is not really work, but something similar to entertainment, shared by both partners and even

18、the children in the case of young families. “Its just great fun“ enthused one of our sample.The idea that DIYing is similar to a trip to the lions of Longleat may seem strange. But for these informants home-making was sufficiently different from, and infinitely preferable to, the dull routines of we

19、ekday 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 therapy“Its therapeutic, isnt it? Im always in my own little world when Im doing DIY its great.“ So said a young man of 27 in our sample. “For me it

20、s occupational therapy“, said another informant. For them and others it was their way of getting rid of stress after a long day at work a way of switching off and using the repetitive nature of many DIY tasks as a way of relaxing. Others hinted at a similar process, where DIY was almost an end in it

21、self, rather than just a means to achieving a better home. In this sense they were similar to those who saw DIY as a form of leisure, but it was the psychological effects which were emphasized by 18% of our sample.（分数：49.00）(1).Besides the traditional motives of DIY, the new categories of motive inc
