Hey MO3 why are you going to be in trouble. How can be blame you for that old house loosing its stuff ?
He should work his but off to make this house livable and in top condition not you .
:D
Ask him to talk to me when he comes home and raises a hell about it.
They sell putty to fill it in by the way. Buy a can of it and when he comes home let him work with it while you make dinner for him.
