Most can't even assemble flatpack.


Have you considered that the 30-somethings you meet professionally might
not be representative of EVERY 30-something?

That age is often the peak of career progression, mixed in with having a
social life and/or small children - so often cash-rich/time-poor. Not
exactly a combination that encourages even the DIY-competent if there's
the option of a cheap and low-hassle tradesman (that's you) flopping a
flyer through the letterbox.
