Meaning of bricolaje

bricolaje: It is a rather artisanal manual work, like a hobby, of repair tasks or creation of artifacts that would normally be done by a professional. It would be the Spanish version of the French bricolage, from the verb bricoler ("to mend, disarm to hack") which surely comes from the Germanic brechen ("to break").; They are small-scale manual jobs that a person does as an amateur (without help from a professional) and usually homemade. They can be crafting, repairing or maintenance and in masonry, carpentry, electrical or plumbing.; DO-it-yourself or DIY-are small arrangements made at home by their own family that is found. In the center of the Mexican Republic used to say: escombrar. So called the trivialities or minor repairs carried out in households generally by the father of family.
