We lived in the house while we were remodeling it, too.  Always
interesting.  There were weeks without electricity and without water.  Tom
hauled water from the pond to flush the toilets ;-)   I would much rather
do without electricity than water!
You probably have more reliable contractors that we did.  We ended up with
the ones who would leave as soon as they got a better paying job!  Tom is
still doing everything himself, including the financing ;-)
