Nothing sparks some DIY fire like knowing something needs fixing, while at the same time being broke yourself. Yes, sometimes things can go pear-shaped and end up making it onto the internet's lists of laughing stocks. But you'll never know if you don't try.
DIY isn't always glamorous. It can be messy, chaotic, and might even have you considering quitting mid-project. Those who push through the crooked shelves, questionable paint colors, and collapsing wood, until everything finally comes together are the ones who truly get to experience that unmatched sense of pride. They have every right to brag, and many do, in online communities dedicated to sharing the most brilliant examples of 'Do It Yourself.'
