Got wood?

Things are moving along nicely, and yes, I've got wood.  A lot of it.  We went out to the site yesterday to see how things were going, and found that they had delivered the lumber for the house.

That's a lot of wood...

They also had the foundation prepped for the slab to go in.

Also, they have done some preliminary landscaping around the house itself, but the farther reaches of the back yard still look more like a rock quarry than a yard.  But still, it was really good to go out and see things starting to take shape.

We had a bit of a scare when we first saw the brick, because it looked a lot lighter than it did in the sample, but our PM assured us that the bricks were dirty, and had mortar on them still, which was making them look much lighter than they actually are.  Once washed off they should look darker.  I told my wife the same thing, but she was much more reassured after hearing it from him.  Go figure.

Okay kids, that's it for now.  Stay classy!
