do-it-yourselfers
Amateur home fixers
Do-it-yourselfers are people who prefer to build, repair, or create things themselves rather than hiring professionals.
The term captures both the practical motivation—saving money—and the ethos of self-reliance and hands-on satisfaction: The hardware store caters to do-it-yourselfers with weekend projects.
Often shortened to DIYers.
