They made good progress on the house again this week.  But we also found out all of the windows are on a two week backorder.  That means we will end up with at least a week where they will not be able to do anything.  Even so, it is starting to look like a real house now.

The bathtub is set in the master bathroom.

And in the guest bathroom.

The plumbing is run through the entire house.

And the water now runs from the well into the house.

Tina and I went to the house on Friday afternoon and met the carpenters.  They were in the process of installing the outside doors and the pocket door to the master closet while we were there.

On the outside of the house, they got the soffits done and got ready to do the roof this week.

We were talking to the carpenters and they mentioned the birds had already built a nest in the front entryway.

They also said when they showed up to work on Monday, there were two Great Horned Owls sitting in the garage.  Unfortunately, nobody got a picture of the owls.

Lastly unrelated to the house, as we were leaving the house Friday we saw a pretty good sized dust devil.  Although distances in the desert are very deceiving, I estimate the dust devil was about 2-3 miles away.  (The house you see in the foreground is about 1/2 mile from us.)

Back at the rental house, the lemon tree has about 8-10 lemons starting.
