It's been two weeks and 2 days since the dig. Things are moving quickly. Here are the pics of the process thus far, and I'll continue to update this throughout the process.

We heard back on the prairie grids for the windows. $167/window! We coughed up $1338 for the 8 windows in the front.
One thing that I noticed now that they have the framing up for the first floor, we've got an odd situation in the lower transitional level. The created some "cubby" space in the wall of the great room to fit the fireplace, and some shelves, but that means the floor extended into the transition level. Not a big deal, but that cuts into the one side of that room. I'll basically end up making cubbies or a wall of shelves based around it.
It's just one of those things that you really need to look at in the drawings in detail to see, otherwise you don't notice it till it's done. Try to look over all drawings given to you in detail, or have someone with a trained eye try to pick out the things that you woulnd't notice.
I think right now for the kitchen, partially for pricing reasons, and for a different look, we're going to do Corian for the counters, and granite for the island. Granite is way oveused these days, and something I do want, but thise will give us a different look, and we'll still kind of get what we want. Stay tuned.
