EXCERPT: A recently released national survey by Window World, America’s largest replacement window and exterior remodeling company, reveals:

More than two-thirds (67%) say their DIY home improvement projects were stressful.

Why? They took too much time (68%), were messy and caused chaos (45%), didn’t turn out as expected (20%) and just weren’t much fun (17%).

One-third (33%) regret ever starting a DIY home project, and 18% say they’d never do it again.

The survey of more than 400 American homeowners who tackled DIY home improvement projects reveals homes may look better, but after the grueling process, relationships now need repairs.

47% say DIY home improvement projects caused disagreements with their spouse, significant other or roommate.

More than half (54%) say they argued nicely, but 27% say they didn’t speak for hours, 23% yelled and screamed, 22% walked out leaving the other person standing there in a mess and almost 10% talked about moving out or separating.

It wasn’t only relationships that took a beating.

14% say they got hurt on the job.

While more than half (55%) of those who got hurt suffered only scrapes and bruises, almost one-third (31%) got injured from falling and almost one-fourth (22%) fractured at least one bone.
