Progress on the house is coming along nicely! The past week or so has been backfill, rough grade, underground plumbing and installing the electric meter. While this has been happening they've been getting the walls ready for framing, so we're thinking once the framing process starts it shouldn't take long at all!
We've been busy making decisions for the exterior and the interior. We've decided on: windows, siding and trim color, gutters, shingles, millwork and doors, door hardware, garage door, cabinets, countertops, interior paint and stone. Whew! Decisions on flooring, lighting and plumbing fixtures are left.
Backfill and rough grade.
Closer view. You can see walls ready to go on the ground!
Pile of dirt ready for the driveway grading.
Ta dah!
Uh oh, had a little accident during rough grade. Chad made sure to document!
More documentation.
Underground plumbing for the basement bathroom and wetbar.
Almost finished with the roof.
I'm amazed we've been close to schedule with the amount of precipitation October brought.
The shingling begins!
Fascia and the base for stone is next.
Chad and I really, really love this stone.
Divider wall between the dining/kitchen and living room. 
Looking in to the living room.
Stone is complete on half of the house!
Shingling almost complete as well, and the ground is starting to dry out.
And the siding! As you can see it rained again today. =) Good thing our exterior work is almost finished and we won't have to worry about the weather anymore.
