Elevations are getting closer

Here are the elevations. I am going for a craftsman sort of look. I am likely going to have lap siding with asphalt shingles. I would like to have stone veneer below the water table line. Natural wood look on the timber frame entrance.

Where did three months go?

It doesn't seem like it has been that long, but I guess with Holidays and such, more happens than you realize. Well, I scratched the tower idea (fear of cost and taking up too much space). The attached images are the latest sketches. Obviously I have gone a lot further than my last post and am starting to get into the specifics of the plan. I am starting to worry that this house may be too big; it is over 3000 sf of living space. I was aiming for more like 2500. I better start thinking of ways to downsize and areas to cut.
