As prices and building costs keep rising, the"do-it-yourself"(DIY) trend (趋势) in the U. S. continues to grow.
"We needed furniture(家具) for our living room, " says John Ross, "and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs. "(76)
John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high.
The Rosses took a two-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoemaking factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. "I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course. I should be able to fix the car by myself. "

If you want to become a "do-it-yourselfer, " you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.
