There's a lot more done on it--and with all the windows in, and construction doors in place, there's a pretty significant shield from the wind once you are inside.
Here you can see that the exterior security lighting wiring is in place. You can also see that someone cut a hole for the wiring and fixture--and then realized: whoops! Fortunately, the siding, once in place, will hide this hole.

Ditto, by the rear door of the garage.

We have security light fixtures on all sides--and depending on switches, we can turn them completely off (for astronomy), turn them completely on (in case something goes bump in the night--it's good to have your target fully illuminated), or leave them in motion detector mode, where they detect something moving, and turn on. Paranoid? No, no, we grew up in Los Angeles. We are....careful. Yeah, that's the word we're going to use!
Here you can see hose bibs and external outlet wiring. Our current house has insufficient hose bibs, and in very poor places.

The back porch is well under way--providing shelter from the rain.

Here you can see some of the platform and piping for furnace and hot water heater in the garage. To my surprise, the view out the front garage door came out a lot more artistic than I expected, with Idaho State Highway 55 curving in the background, slightly diffused by distance.

And here we have the portal into the fifth dimension.

Actually, this is the access panel into the garage rafters. I had requested a pull down staircase to get into the rafters for storage--it looks like Scott may have planned with this in mind.
Sticking up out of the kitchen floor is the gas pipe for the island range.

This picture from the family room came out badly exposed, because of too little inside, and too much light outside. I've fiddled with contrast and brightness to equalize things a bit, but I doubt that the result will be that wonderful. (You have to be there!)

Second bathroom. The tub/shower combo is in place; everything else is waiting for final sheetrock before they install the sink and the toilet.

This was an astonishgly non-descript picture of the master bedroom closet. It needs something to give some idea of scale--in some parts of California, you could rent it for $500 a month.

This isn't much of a picture of the master bedroom, but it gives you an idea what a room looks like after the electrical outlet and switch boxes are installed, and the sheet rock is up.

A better picture of the master bedroom, looking through the slider down into Horseshoe Bend.

We came by these two ladders tangled together, as though they had just fallen asleep. My wife's comment: "So that's where stepstools come from!"

The front of the house gets better looking by the day.
