Work continues pretty much on schedule on our house-in-progress.
Inside: the drywall is up. All of it! You might even catch a glimpse if you look inside the garage.
Outside: the siding is complete (or at least, it appears to be), and they've even put up some of the window trim and shutters.
I'm curious about why they install these ornamental shutters. Clearly, they have no practical value at all. They are in no way going to protect your windows in case of severe weather. So why bother?

the shutters are strickly a decoration. they make the window appear to be larger and the wall (white space) smaller.Its the same affect as the overhang on the front of your house. It makes the house appear large without increasing the foot print of the structure. The only surprise is that they put them up BEFORE the house is painted. The painter will have to take them down or trim around them!
