Don't waste your time doing DIY | This is Money

Don't waste your time doing DIY | This is Money


Kevin Dawes is among the army of homeowners taking advantage of the run of bank holidays to crack on with some home improvements. The combination of consecutive four-day weekends, plus another long weekend at the end of this month, means householders are running out of excuses to delay their DIY projects.

Kevin, 49, and his wife Sue, 48, a communications consultant, live on the outskirts of Wolverhampton and he is in the middle of renovating decking in the garden of their Victorian detached home.

Kevin, a GP, says: 'I'm using the time to bring it up to spec. The railings we had before were just sawn up planks, which I guess was a Seventies idea of modernity, but now looks horribly dated. I quite enjoy getting on with this sort of project because it is such a change from my normal job.'
