He also looked at me blankly when I I told him he had to be packed up and ready to move out in 3 days. This house has been under contract for 3 MONTHS!!!" When he AND DH said, "Well, we didn't know," I wanted to knock their skulls together. Did they think they were going to get 30 days notice???
So, there are a few things up in the air right now. We were supposed to close tomorrow, but DH couldn't get the POD removed fast enough, and although we have made all the repairs the buyer has asked for, we still have to replace two electric receptacles, which DH says he is going to do. He CAN do it, but the question is WHEN? These two brothers, as endearing as they are, were not raised to handle stress in any way, shape or form. I was held up from being involved because it's not my house, but basically DH has told me that I better just take over. It's too much for him.
