When the "brothers" come, ask one of them to check the attic for you. You don't want that critter to stay up there very long because most of them do like to chew wires.
Sounds like you'll have a full house and maybe the company will do all of you good.
Don't hesitate to ask them to help you when it comes to things around the home. I'm sure they would be more than happy to help if they are given some notice.
Take care and enjoy the time you spend w/your family.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
