Awesome! Are you in the North East?
I worked construction for the past year here in Texas. I used to live in Pennsylvania, and the building process is completely different!

lol - thanks folks. Yeah the layout caught me eye, it sorta eliminated some un-needed things and kept the living area mostly open.
And our build process is a little different up here, especially since we can't do exterior work year round. So basically they try to get everything done on the outside ASAP this time of year, because it is getting down to freezing now, this is the last week they allow septic systems to be put in. So basically they haul ass on the exterior so they don't have to work in the cold.

Hey, not a whole lot visually has changed, I'm a lil behind on my pictures, the electrical, and plumbing have all been roughed in. Also all the exterior walls have been insulated, however I don't have pics of that yet - I also have a flu and wood stove installed, but no pics of that yet either, also no pics of the exterior doors after they have been installed.
Back shot of the house
The Garage
Living Room
Front door/Living room/Stairway to the basement
Hallway to the bedrooms and bathrooms
Should have some more pics soon, they are putting in the heating soon and will be putting up the drywall shortly thereafter. Working on picking out cabinets and floors now.

Thanks - the heating is an electric boiler with in floor heating with a cement overpour. I also will have a propane fireplace in the living room, and a woodstove in the basement. And the smell is awesome, nothing like the smell of fresh cut wood, which is why I have a woodstove, and live in a small woods.
