Is ‘Do It Yourself’ worth it?
Why pay an electrician for a five-minute task when you can do it yourself? 0 G Well, that’s how I used to think about DIY, but not anymore.
Last year, I bought a new light fitting for one of our bedrooms. I knew that it wasn’t going to be easy to put up, so I called my friend Paul. 1 Then, with my screwdriver in my hand, I would fix it to the ceiling. And all that would take the same length of time that a professional would need to do the job alone.
Paul waited upstairs while I switched off the electrical power in the box downstairs. If I’m honest, I can’t remember when I first realized that something was wrong. It might have been his scream. Or perhaps the bang and flash of light coming from the box in front of me. It could even have been the smell of smoke. Whatever it was, I quickly turned off the power in the whole house. That alone meant that I would have to reset every timer on every piece of electrical equipment in the house. It didn’t matter, though. 2 What had I done to him? I went upstairs to inspect the damage.
The light fitting was completely destroyed. There was a huge black mark on the ceiling where it had been burned, and the smell in the room was awful. Paul was standing there brushing hundreds of small pieces of glass out of his hair. Luckily, he hadn’t been hurt. 3 And it was at that point, as I stood watching him, that I realized the dangers involved when someone doesn’t really know what they’re doing.
As so often in DIY, the problem turned out to be not that we had made a complete mess of the job – although my wife would not agree – but that we had missed a tiny detail. A piece of metal in the part that connects the light fitting to the ceiling should have been covered with a special kind of tape. 4 With the tape, the light fitting would have been an attractive addition to the room. Without it, however, it was like a bomb.
My wife was used to my making a mess of things and paying twice as much to get them fixed as it would have cost to get a professional to do it in the first place. That day taught us all a lesson, though. I was not prepared to injure my friends just to save some money. 5 In just two years, the number of people aged 45 to 54 doing DIY has fallen by half, according to a report published this week.

D His job would be to hold it in position.
E At least that’s what the electrician who came to sort out the problem told me.
F But he had come very close to it.
