Nearly 80% of homeowners make mistakes while doing DIY. Here are four of the biggest mistakes that homeowners often make. Costing Too Much More than 40% of people find DIY projects more difficult and expensive than they thought. By taking on a task that needs more time or skills than you have, you may end up with a big mess and an unfinished project. “It’s important to think about why you want to do DIY and what you’re hoping to get from it,” said Bailey Carson, a home care expert. “If you’re doing it just to save money, you might need to think twice. Without the time, tools, and talent to do it correctly and safely, mistakes may cost you more in the long run (从长远来看) than simply (简单地) paying others to help from the beginning.” Using the Wrong Tools A third of people used the wrong tool for DIY projects, which can make the job more difficult and less safe. Many tools are designed for special uses and materials, so if you use them for other tasks, you may get hurt. Always use the proper tools for each project, and make sure you know how to use them. Not Safety First DIY mistakes can not only be costly but also dangerous. Of the survey people who once made a big mistake during their DIY projects, 47% said that the mistake led to (导致) serious problems, while 44% started a fire or fell off (从……摔下来) a roof or ladder. Take your time and follow all safety rules when using tools. Remember to wear dust masks, safety glasses, hearing protection or gloves to protect yourself. Skipping Important Steps Skipping (跳过) a key step can end up your whole DIY project—and you might not realize it until much later. In the survey, 47% of people said that they had finished a DIY project before realizing it was done wrong. Read all instructions carefully ahead of time, and make sure you have the necessary skills to complete each step before you begin. 1—2题 Understand the Content (基础理解)；3题Analyze Reasons (原因分析)；4题Give Advice (给出建议)。 1．What can DIY projects help homeowners do A．Only save money.
