Progress has been made.  Both batches of hops have come in along with the hop (coir) twine.  Joanna’s cousin was able to get the poles in the ground.  Hopefully it will all be in the ground shortly.

Finally got a carboy/keg washer after several carboys and a keg or two stacked up in the cleaning queue.  This thing works great I should have picked one up a while ago.

I made a new dip tube for my mash tun which reduced the dead space to 2qt/.5 gallons.
