L46-1: Do ityourself
So great is ourpassion for doing things for ourselves, that we are becoming increasingly lessdependent on specialized labour. No one can plead ignorance of a subject anylonger, for there are countless do-it-yourself publications. Armed with theright tools and materials, newlyweds gaily embark on the task of decoratingtheir own homes. Men, particularly, spend hours of their leisure timeinstalling their own fireplaces, laying out their own gardens; building garagesand making furniture. Some really keen enthusiasts go so far as to build theirown computers. Shops cater for the do-it-yourself craze not only by runningspecial advisory services for novices, but by offering consumers bits andpieces which they can assemble at home. Such things provide an excellent outletfor pent up creative energy, but unfortunately not all of us are bornhandymen.Some wives tend to believe that their husbands are infinitelyresourceful and can fix anything.
