We've made some incremental progress over the last few days. In spite of having the wrong drain kit for the hot-tub/bathtub and a bout of some stomach virus working its way through my family, you can tell that things are getting done.

Our newest contractor, the flying one, made an appearance late last week and has begun working on our siding and exterior trim. I pressure washed out the hall bathroom and installed (most) of the last double hung windows. We also worked on some plumbing, vent pipes, traps, and rough-ins.

The hot-tub/bath would be installed except the folks at Lowe's in Russellville sold us the wrong drain kit. It wouldn't have been too annoying except that we asked them over and over if we had the right parts. "Sure, that is the right one," was what they told us. On the up side, we needed more insulation anyhow, so returning it wasn't an entirely wasted trip.
