Tempted to let your husband do some DIY over the weekend, or thinking of engaging in some yourself? Think again. According to a new survey from FrogTape, one in two men will botch a decorating job around the house this weekend. Cutting corners everywhere, one in five men have been in such a rush, they painted around shelves and didn’t even remove pictures, with some even using their kid’s paint for touch ups!
Other crimes include not using spirit levels to put up shelves, extra parts left over after assembling flat-pack furniture, not carpeting under furniture and not painting behind cupboards. One in four said they do it because they hate it so much, over 10 percent said they are too proud to ask for help while one in five said they simply haven’t a clue so they make it up as they go along!
Two thirds of men surveyed blamed the recession for attempting these jobs themselves…but recession or no recession, there’s just no excuse for some of these disasters in DIY! So maybe think twice before asking your man to put up that shelve this weekend.
