Trying to wrestle a big ol' bathtub through a second story window is definitely challenging. After scratching our heads for a while, we decided to use the tractor and a ladder. I would have like to have taken pictures of the work in progress, but I was a little busy. We ended up loading the bathtub vertically in the tractor bucket and then raising it as high as we could, and then letting it tip against the ramp. Then Pete climbed up into the bucket, and, after making some adjustments with the tractor, he was able to shove the bathtub up the ramp and through the window. It took most of a morning to accomplish this task.

Pete's just about got all the interior framing done - we should have the framing inspection this week. He's also been working on finishing all the soffets and details around the roof line. It's a lot of tedious detail work that takes a long time and doesn't look like massive amounts of progress. With the weather improving and the daylight lasting longer, we're hoping to start making some faster progress. Next up, electrical and plumbing. I'm working on finalizing our fancy-schmancy shower valving design, and then I need to work on the lighting.
