<div dir="ltr">What if we were to define doityourself as a shop where one can purchase everything necessary to build a house, from tools and materials up to and including beams and sheathing, roofing, toilets, sinks, electrical cabinets, furnaces, etc.?

It's just that they do it for money, which IMO should have no bearing on the type of shop it is.<div><br></div><div>AFAIK, Ace Hardware stores do not carry a wide enough assortment of items to qualify.
