Entire area around garage has been backfilled. That band of rocks goes almost entirely around the back of the house, to keep the garage back fill in place. Place to put a boat, on the side! (yeah right)

Also, we're going with a gravel driveway. Having it done in concrete would cost close to $20K.
Holy crap.

Hang on… $20K for a concrete drive? WTF!!
that’s what i said! crazy.
edit: i double-checked the estimate. and i was wrong! it’s much lower than that. we’re still skipping it, for now.
Gravel driveways work fine. For a while.
They had to re-header the garage doors. Holy crap.
they basically reframed the whole thing, in place.
Thank FSM the original contractor framed it do that the roof line matched. Looks good!!!
yeah, seriously. he got the roof right at least.
