enchoistic

I was not familiar with Jumbo Encho before I came to live in Shizuoka and I take it for granted that it is a local DIY store.  Maybe I am wrong.  B's father has got old but until several years ago he was an enthusiast in DIY.  He had dexterity and perseverance in making furniture.  In fact there are tables and chairs he made.  Some of the chairs are not for sitting on but for the pleasure of carving.  I am too practical to appreciate them, I am afraid.  He had lots and lots of tools bought at the DIY shop.  I assume he was a regular customer there.  He had so many tools that he even had a hut to store them.  Neither B nor I am good at furniture making or even repairing things at home.  The timbers, saws, screws and drills at Encho mean nothing to us.  It may be a shame.  We call things that have some affinity with DIY 'enchoistic', which term is understood at home and nowhere else.  It represents both the stuff that require dexterity and the devices that are easily available at a local home centre.  It can be either things beyond our reach in terms of our skill or things too easily available, requiring much storing space and too soon discarded as a result.  In the case of the lemon tree, I did not have to order or wait for its arrival but casually brought home.  It was inexpensive and easily available, and it is not delicately subtle but solidly familiar, so the adjective is suitable.   I hope it will be with us for long.
