3rd Week of October
The scaffolding has been removed from the front of the house. The masons have started cleaning up the ground in front of the house. They aren't completely done with all the stone work, but they are very close. And all the work on the top part of the facade is done.
To give it a little perspective I am showing three pictures of the house, taken from the large ash tree in the front yard, from 3 months ago to today.

There are several small details still left to build at the front of the house - stonework around the sides and front of both stoops, trimwork around the roof edge of the covered entry, railings above the entryway, slate pavers at the steps, railing at the secondary entry, grout joints at the stone watertable cap, a hose bibb, electric outlets, the pendant light at the entry, finish trim around the door, and probably some things I'm forgetting at the moment.

But we have a real house! One month from now all those little details should be done. And the septic field (underneath our front yard) will have been re-built.
