UK – DIY Jobs Out YDI In
Though the global economy is slowing and fluctuating like a rollercoaster, Brit’s are finding it better to have chores around the house be done by somebody else (You Do It – YDI). This is the current trend and is seen to be a continuing effect of insurance issues. Most DIY repairs done to a home have to pass standards set by the government and safety branches, hiring a professional or contractor to do the job and have them take care of all the paperwork is easier and better. The average British home spends roughly 12% of their income on paying other people to do stuff for them, jobs that used to have most Brit’s occupied on holidays. Issues with regards to safety and insurance have forced people to hire more than do the jobs themselves and besides, you can get mad at a contractor but not at yourself for a job you do not like.
