This would have been my ex. He doesn't work with his hands, he loves saving money, and he's extremely impatient and wants everything NOW.

When I moved into my new apartment a couple years ago, I put together all of my furniture while he hung pictures. And he could ALWAYS sniff out a deal. It was kind of amazing, actually, how sometimes he'd manage to get discounts on things that weren't even on sale.

Personally, I think it's crazy to pass on a house because of one small thing that could easily be changed, but to each their own.
