RE: "So when will *Mr.DH* be available???"
Well I'd be pretty ticked off too, considering that my husband is not exactly Bob Vila. In fact, I'm the one that usually does the home repairs.
However, being that I used to run a contractor's office and would set up appointments with potential customers, you have no idea how many clueless people are out there.
It would happen on a fairly regular basis that my boss would go to an appointment, explain everything, come back with an estimate, and then get a phone call saying, "Can you come back and explain everything to my SO/DH, etc." The majority of the time, they didn't have the work done, either...
I would just tell them that your DH is not involved in the decision making process. End of story. If they can't handle that response then you should move onto another contractor!
Feel better!
