      In fairness to our builder, @Appfaff, we took a leisurely approach to the whole process.  I'm not going to blame him for how long it took to get to pouring a foundation.  He assures us things will proceed with more urgency from here on.  We'll see how it looks in four months or so.

        @Chris - makes sense - you were talking about it in November, so that’s what got me thinking…

          @Chris That's a big step along the way!  Got any details on what your house is going to be like?  Got everything picked out already?

            @Clint_D, in theory, we have everything picked out- we haven't received final numbers for all it.  I'm sure there will be some downgrading at that point.  Julie's picked it all, and as well as I can remember, it's sort of mid-century modern-ish overall for the decor, with random blitzes of bright colors.

            I'm sure it will be cool when it's done.  Well, I hope so, at least…

                                  That's probably the closest description we could apply.  It's a modified version of a house that the builder did out in Midland, so I think we've probably bastardized it out of any clear categorization or whatever the original design might have been.

                                  Oh, and the house looks great, Dan.  Congrats again.

                                    I think that will fit in very well with the climate and surroundings, @Chris

                                    It always seemed weird to me that all the builders in H-town throw up Craftsman and Colonial houses with zero history of the design ever being there…. and don’t get me started on the “we are going to use 7 different varieties of stone and mixed veneer on the facade of the home” style stuff they are building in the mega communities...

                                      Oh, now you've touched on one of my biggest housing peeves.  Our street in Houston had post war ranch, Mediterranean, Tudor, craftsman, colonial, 5,000 square foot 2 story Cape Cod "cottages", Miami Vice drug kingpin, you name it.  I always complained about how there was no thought given to what was historically, geographically, or culturally appropriate.  San Antonio has a more distinct style, so we didn't want to stray too far afield.  Hopefully, this will work out as intended.

                                      And builders that combine brick, vinyl siding, stucco, and manufactured "stone" in a single house need to be punched.  Repeatedly.

                                          Sadly there is often not much more thought in a new house's Architecture over here either!

                                          I moved a while back, need to take a few decent shots.
