The Parents are in Town

My wife's parents arrived last night to help with the rest of the build. My father-in-law brought a car full of tools and will be living in our tiny apartment for the next two months. We have decided to not charge them any rent in return for 60 days of backbreaking of labor. We are hard negotiators.    

We made some more progress on the bathroom and started to wire the house for electric. This weekend I will be concentrating solely on building the frame for the bathtub while everyone else continues with wiring. The goal is to have the frame done by Sunday night. Reality says it will probably take a week. 

Meanwhile the siding is about halfway up and will be done in a few days. I am excited about this, but once the carpenters are gone I won't be able to hit them up for advice every hour. It's a good thing I know them personally or they probably would have shot me with the nail gun by now.
