Bill

DIY often results in a great deal of unused product which a professional
would use on another job, as well as often entailing multiple visits to
B&Q.

If you think DIY wastes materials, you should see the way some of the
commercial builders operate... I have seen complete pallets of unopened
materials loaded into skips at the end of the job as they have no way to
transport or store the unused materials. Site hordings made from
hundreds of sheets of WBP ply simply burnt on site etc.

It also wastes plasters and bandages.

I thought leaving them in the box wasted them ;-)
