HOME improvement enthusiasts are not doing anything that worthwhile, it has been claimed.
Researchers highlighted a tendency for house-adapters to talk about their ‘build’ in heroic tones while describing the many obstacles they have overcome.
Professor Henry Brubaker of the Institute for Studies said: “People who do work on their houses are really just giving themselves a nice present.
“They’re not changing the world for the better, like some brush-wielding Marvel superheroes.
“And if your house is shit to begin with it’s never going to be that great anyway.”
40-year-old Stephen Malley said: “We’ve got a very specific vision of how we want our home remodelled.
“It’s going to be light and airy, combining contemporary design with traditional materials. Basically we are creating a sanctum, where everything will be lovely forever.
“And if it means we have to sleep in the spare bedroom while the builders are in, we’re prepared to make those kind of profound sacrifices.
“It’s what Noah would have done if he didn’t have a flood to worry about, or Gandhi if he wasn’t doing whatever it is he did.”
