Work on kitchen renovation? I’m not helping! (2-2-8)
I believe the answer is:
do-it-yourself
'work on kitchen renovation? i'm not helping' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'work on kitchen renovation? i'm not' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'work' could be 'do' (synonyms) and 'do' is located in the answer.
'i'm' could be 'i' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'i' is found in the answer.
'not' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for do-it-yourself that I've seen before include "Repairs, etc without recourse to a tradesman" , "Fold your ties! (anag.)" , "Handyman's motto and practice" , "Heraldic device; directions" , "Don't get the professionals in!" .)
