In an effort to give my H some things to do to make him feel like a good provider, I gave him two "house" issues yesterday. One was a hose that split presumably with the winter freeze (surprising, since we hardly had a winter.) The second is a piece of siding that has blown loose with all the wind we're having right not. Both of these are issues that I could have immediately dealt with, but opted to set them aside and do others things so that I would have something to ask H to do. I just put it back and sort of tucked it in.
It could have been dealt with yesterday by H, because even after dark there's a streetlamp right there shining on it. But he asked to wait until today in the daylight, and I said sure. Today it has blown loose again. I can year it flapping against the outside of the house. I'm concerned that it's going to rip off altogether, possibly taking some other pieces with it. I'm trying to "sit on my hands" and not jump to fix it. If I don't, it will possibly be worse by the time he gets to it.
Do I go out and secure it myself? (H is at work and can't fix it right now.) Or do I let it go and let him deal with it regardless?
And then, preemptively, when he comes to me and asks me how I think he should fix it, should I just tell him I'm sure he'll figure it out and not jump in? Or do I tell him (as if I'm some siding expert, which I'm not.)
