My Cousin and His DIY

My cousin Andrew is crazy about DIY. He loves to make or repair things around his house by himself.   However,   he   is   not   a   born handyman!

Once, he tried to put in a brighter light in his bedroom, but he made a mistake, and his whole house had a power cut. Another time, he wanted to put up a picture on the wall, but he hit a water pipe(管道) and the room was filled with water.

Andrew thought he was just unlucky. He didn't stop trying to fix things on his own.Instead, he bought many books about DIY and took an online DIY course as well. Now he knows his way around all kinds of DIY.

One day, he found my room in a mess, with books all over my bed.“You’ d better have a shelf for them,” he said. Then he got some boards and soon made a shelf for me. Now my room looks great, and it is easy for me to find my books!

Last Saturday,I visited his home. A floor lamp there caught my eye. It looked so cool!  Iwas surprised to know that he made it himself!

My cousin enjoys DIY, and now no DIY job seems impossible to him. He thinks DIY is a good way to have fun and save money.
