We have Brick...and Dogwoods!

We were very excited tonight to find out that they have been laying brick this week!  We are so happy with our brick choice - it's so pretty!  I'm not sure whether I was more excited about the brick or the fact that I realized tonight that we probably have 10 - 12 dogwoods on our property.  They hadn't been blooming yet so I didn't realize we had these beautiful trees until tonight!  I love blooming trees so this was a nice surprise and we will enjoy having these lovely trees down our driveway, in our front yard and there is one just outside where our bedroom window will be.  Love, love, love it!!

Here's an "aerial view" of the basement from a huge mound of dirt.

Side view of the house.  This is the left side of the house and the front corner.  Love how our brick is turning out!

Front of the house and looking into the 2 car garage.

Back left corner of the house looking into the basement.

Yay!  Look at the dogwoods in our back yard!  So excited that we have these beautiful trees!


The builder says next week they will be waterproofing the basement so I'm not sure the pictures will be too exciting.  I can't wait for the framing to start!

Our Brick, Stone, Flagstone, and Shingles!

Here are our final selections for these items!
The brick is only going around the foundation and the stone will be around the front door. The flagstone will be the flooring for the front porch! Yay! We are making decisions :)
