Good news: Drywall looks to be just about completed. Good seams, no visible gaps. We even have our mailbox mounted and ready to go! Cool. Super Cool!
Below is our lower level rec room:
Bad news: Lee obsessed over the exterior stone choices. And I mean OBSESSED. It's all good though, because Lee really has an eye for color, texture and lines. He's really very artistic, even if he doesn't realize his own talents. After spending so darn much time selecting just the perfect stone, the mason started installing it today. And it looked like CRAP. We stared at it for a full hour, willing ourselves to like it. We asked other peoples' opinions. But to no avail, EVERYONE thought the stone was too gold for the grayish brown stucco colors on the house. ARRRG! We can only worry how much replacing it will cost us...

Hmm... your stone doesn't look so bad in relation to the rest of the new house! If in real life it does stand out that much - instead of replacing it - you can hire an artist to go in there and paint portions of each stone so that it blends in more with the house. Basically, pain each stone (or wash it or something), so that the colors balance out more and blend in more.
