They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.     DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture. People need to get together pieces of furniture with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can't understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best ideas, many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don't care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in the UK. Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it looks.
