Building Update-2nd edition

A beautiful granite sign as you enter our little subdivision.
Progres! We have doors, windows, a roof and a chimney! Hopefully, the next picture of the front of the house will show some "cypress" cedar shakes with "sandstone" trim. We just picked our colors last week.

As you can see, we still need lots and lots of fill so that we won't need ladders to get in and out of the house.
We love our chimney! My dad's French mason, who has watched me grow up since I was 3, made it special just for us.

Tonight we are having a meeting to design our kitchen cabinet lay out. That should be fun and exciting. I under-estimated the number of little decisions that have to be made when building a house. Fortunately, Josh and I generally have the same taste and opinion on things, so it hasn't been too overwhelming yet. We are having a blast!
