Vacationland at the house

Mark and I are on 'recess' this week and next, which means that the Council members have two weeks off and we have almost nothing we have to do at work. So we're trading in office work clothes for construction work clothes pretty regularly these days.
The house is really coming together - the sheathing and 2nd floor framing will be complete today, which means that roofing and windows are tomorrow/Friday/early next week. The plumbers are at the house as well, working on the 1st and second floor bathrooms and the kitchen. The house is abuzz with activity! We had two inspections yesterday - side sewer and water line - and passed both, so we were finally able to have the excavator finish grading the front yard - and digging the new driveway.
A few pictures below for your viewing pleasure...

Taking a break to look at exterior paint colors. We settled on Benjamin Moore 2063:
