Im afraid we have a very disgruntled contractor. It is hard for a builder who is extremely good at building homes to deal with some of the crazy obstacles surfacing in our house. The stairwell is now open so hopefully his worst is over! Hang in there Kent!

Progress for today.  We are making the stairs open to the window above.  He hadn't gotten the floor out yet in the pic but its is out now.  The hole in ceiling is what he cut out to patch.  Previous owners apparently let tub overflow.  No other damage or leaks thankfully!
