Construction update

So that we don't spam everyone on Facebook, I think I'll keep our construction log here instead. I'm a little bit apprehensive of this being taken the wrong way. The last thing I want to do is gloat about the fact that we're building a new home. But several family members have asked to keep them updated with photos, etc. This is for them.

It actually makes for a very good foundation, our builder says, since water passes right down through it. So much for the primary song about the foolish man building his house upon the sand!

Here's the basement floor plan and the front elevation:
