37、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 第 4 页 共 7 页reflect a change of occupancy. A final group h
38、as 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 fo
39、r 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 op
40、tion but DIY. Their new home, whether bought on a mortgage 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 hi
41、re professionals, 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, m
42、any 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 popula
43、rity around 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 thi
44、s as being a very important aspect.DIY as self-expressionE) 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
45、 such opportunities 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
46、 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 require
47、d the specialist knowledge and training of the true professional, can now be achieved straight out of the can with a simple brush.DIY as perfection-seeking F) A 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 very unlikely to have the same loving attention to detail and care
