On Wednesday, we got out to the lot fairly early, which should mean better lighting and better pictures, but I apparently screwed up a setting on the camera, so the pictures were blurry, which I didn't notice until later. The electrical rough-ins began (intentionally started after the plumbing rough-ins under the theory that it's a lot easier to adjust the path of a wire than the path of a pipe) and some light carpentry (opening for false stairwell to attic, roughing-in the front doorway).
Some more backfilling occured around the front.
A few more pipes were run in the main floor bathroom.
View of the master bedroom from the stairwell. You can see where a lot of the wires were already run. A lot of the electrical roughins on the top floor occured on the first day. (Cable, phone mostly happened the next day.)

Looking back through the previous bedroom.
Looking through the laundry room to the master bedroom.
Master bedroom and closets.
Master bedroom ceiling with the fan / light roughin. There will also be a couple recessed lights on the shelf.
Rough-ins around the master bathroom.
View of the laundry room from the master bedroom.
Looking up into the attic from the master bedroom. The higher blue electrical box is there to hold the smoke detector for the master bedroom.
Rough-ins in another bedroom on the top floor.
A vanity light roughin in the jack & jill bathroom.
The opening for the false (pull-down) stairwell to the attic in the top floor hallway.
Some holes drilled in stairway supports tha will eventually have wires running through them.
Preethi, Fritz and Silver hanging out in the great room.
Roughing in the front door. I can't find a picture of it online, but it's really a rather cool looking door that doesn't have all the superfluous (from our perspective) grill work.
Wires coming down into the basement where the electrical panel will be. Basically it's underneath the kitchen in what will someday be a basement office / bedroom (not during this construction) so we'll likely have to build a little closet around it. This is after one day; there will be a lot more wires later as we'll be using a double panel.
A view of the house from the West that emphasizes the varying roof lines.
