Are you the one that can put furniture together,or wire up a plug,simple stuff,i often heard customers in stores asking the sales person could they buy that garden set on display or toy swing for their kid because the customer couldn't be arsed putting it together.

Only if there are instructions, and it involves minimal effort

Emiko

Do you like to 'do it yourself '?

I've tried so hard to be a DIY person, but I just can't do it. My boyfriend is able for all that so he does everything in the house, and I got him to teach me a few things but my brain just can't understand it- even the basics like reading diagrams and stuff.

Biggins

I try to be at times.

Chuck Stone

I can do a bit. Can put down wooden floors pretty good.

Kevin Duffy

Bit of a dry spell, so yeh, no choice but to DIY.

johnnyskeleton

Grew up on a farm so I can do it, but pretend otherwise

You sure you're talking about the right kind of DIY here?

Vanbis

Yes. The only thing i don't do is electrics.

I stopped the old DIY when a fair maiden asked me to give her a hand with in her drawers

Im quite the expert now at putting together flat packs etc, It was out of necessity I needed a bed put together once and no one would do it for me.
It took me well over 7 hrs to figure it out take apart what I had done wrong but in the end I got it done (it was a two person job too ) , now I do all the flat packs and it takes me no time to build them

Tabnabs

I can do a fair range but usually run out of interest before I finish up. So I'm more of a DI'er

Celly Smunt

it's really not hard,you **** up,you fix,you learn for next time.

Flatpacks aren't really classic DIY though :pac:

Sticky_Fingers

I do a fair few things all thanks to the internet. If I want to know how to do anything the answer is usually just a quick google away.

1)Open box and inspect all parts.
2)Connect part A1 with B1 with screws (C3) as provided.

later on...*looks at finished product*
