[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's fine for him not to be excited about DIY projects, but he should carry his weight on repairs that need to be done. A broken outlet needs to be fixed (albeit not immediately, unless it's the only one in an area with high use).

It's possible he is on a different timeline than you, and you might need to back off to find out. Can you ask him to take responsibility for a particular issue and see how it plays out? You deal with the toilet issue, and he deals with the outlet. If he looks it up on YouTube and gets excited about DIY (assuming it isn't a dangerous electrical issue), great. If he calls someone to come fix it, great. It might not happen for a week or two, but you could loop back with him and find out how it's going.

It sounds like something you two can work out easily with some experimentation and communication.[/quote]

We moved into a 2004 home recently that had 8 key hole doors- front door, 2 side doors, doors in back by pool, tons of French doors with locks.

Guess how many local actually still functioned?  With the key that would turn and lock or unlock it?

The former homeowners would notice something wasn’t working, and just overuse something else that was.

We had to pay a locksmith $400 for rekeying and cleaning/piling the locks.

There was also a gas oven that leaked we repaired, broken ice maker, leaky gutters that simply needing re-securing, pool equipment all broken, super old systems everywhere, 1 of 2 water heaters didn’t go on, etc.

Real winners. And frankly we sat at the closing signing things thinking they were total idiots. And we got a deal. [/quote]
