One question, what happened to Etri? Evanna was his second, but Etri just vanishes from the narrative.

I was wondering the same thing, was he killed in battle? Or is he busy elsewhere and Evanna was just acting rep. Titania wasn't there but Sarrissa was for example.
I believe Evanna was lying to help Harry, he pointed to her to confirm that the apartment was damaged and unlivable. She confirmed it, though we know it survived the fire, unless it was damaged later in the attack. I think she meant they could no longer make him welcome because his home there was no longer livable.
What I am wondering is why Harry is contracting Michael to help him make the castle livable and not the the elves? Yes, I know friendship and all, but the reason Harry had hot water and modern light and heat was because of elf technology/magic. Now Harry might not mind taking a cold shower when it is ten below zero in the winter time, but he has a daughter now, who might.
vincentric:
He'll need help for the lights and electricity, but plumbing(even hot water) is old tech and not something that he'll hex.
And as I said in another thread, Harry probably has a salary as the Winter Knight, he's just been too stubborn to ask for anything from Mab. Once the thought hits him that it's part of the deal he already made and his just due, it can most likely cover his expenses at the castle and the diamonds will do the renovations. Molly has an eight figure expense account, Harry can make do with a seven figure one.

With more space and a property he owns all of, hot water is achievable without help. Put a tank of water on an upper floor, heat it with fire magic, gravity feed it to showers on the lower floor. He'd have to charge it up manually every time, but that's not that big a deal to take care of the kid. People used to boil kettles over an open fire to have hot baths.

Yes, and often there was someone in the home, with help to do all of the work. It takes time and effort, something Harry won't have a lot of. I imagine he will reengage his Brownie Cleaning Service.
There was a show several years ago, it showed on PBS, it also was on BBCAmerica, families trying to live like they did in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was way more difficult than you think, even with magic I imagine.
