The overall view showing some walls! And, the view out our dining room windows. The house is tall enough that you can see down the ravine, not just over the edge. So cool!
We have lumber!!! Check out the progress!

Have I mentioned how steep our driveway it? Have I effectively conveyed
how steep it is....?

The overall view:
Dear future guests: This will be your room, and the view from your
window:
The drainage system is working very well! (this is looking down a 24" long pipe down to the water running through the drainage system)
You can see how wet the surface is.

The construction road is installed. OK, first the paver got stuck.
It's steep & muddy and the paver had 36,000 pounds of asphalt in it, so not
a huge surprise. So they brought a tow truck in. Then the tow truck
got stuck. So they brought a dump truck down to pull the paver and tow
truck out. The paver didn't even budge. So they brought a 2nd dump
truck to help pull. Still nothing. So, the paving company drove
their big bulldozer that they use in the yard the two miles up to the site, and
the bulldozer proceeded to simply pick up the paver and get it unstuck. Five
hours later.
But the end result is we have a construction driveway:
Yes, it will be chewed up, but it's not the finished version.

Lumber & lots and lots and lots of mud.
A view down in to where the storage space is:
Pictures showing how the foundation is not lined up quite square:
Us at the site, it's a beautiful day, it's very wet in our basement, and a picture of the maple leaf!
