How long do you take to admit defeat?
DIY means Do It Yourself.
But that definitely doesn't always mean we CAN do it ourselves...
Though we can be stubborn people and stay going even if it's clear we've no idea what we're at.
Whether you're trying to assemble a desk or fix the telly, sometimes we just have to put our hands up and admit defeat.
So, how long does it take people on average before seeking help with a DIY project?
Well, according to one study, the average person sticks at something for five hours before giving up and calling in a professional to help.
The survey of 2,000 Americans also discovered four in 10 have had more DIY failures than they did successes.
Nearly half (45%) completely butchered a home improvement project by trying to take it on without professional help.
And 57% wish they could go back in time to call in a professional before getting started.
More than half (56%) get so flustered, they’ve called one of their parents to get step-by-step instructions from them.
The survey was commissioned by BJ’s Wholesale Club and conducted by OnePoll.
If found that the average American starts experimenting with DIY home improvement projects at age 22.
So, if you're over 22 and haven't dabbled in DIY you might wanna get the skates on...
