That's what the blankets are for. 
Concrete guys always work year round. People don't just stop building in the winter.

Just takes longer, the biggest issue is those frost chunks of dirt. Dont let them backfill the house with that crap or it will settle like crazy.

Re: House Projects
They started digging ours early march last year when it was cold out and snow on the ground too. They can dig pretty much anytime is what they told me. Concrete they said there was a min temp they want to be above to pour, but that min temp was still pretty low.

Re: House Projects
We did sod, 1 retaining wall (had to), 1 tree in the front yard (had to), and then just river rock around the perimeter of the house.

Re: House Projects
Well went up to our lot last Friday and was surprised at how far they were and starting to put the block in. Then went back today and there was a house starting to take shape. Garage and master bedroom seem to be coming along nicely! The bedroom is above the garage so its nice and big! Went out and started to pick out some lighting stuff and got all the appliances picked out and same with all the colors of paint and carpet and all that fun stuff. Hoping that way they wouldn't have to be waiting around on us for anything.

Re: House Projects
Out townhome was on the market for 8 days before it sold, closing here in mid may. We will find out if our offer is accepted on the house we looked at hopefully tomorrow morning!
Of course the house shuffle puts the project off for another year, but at least the stealth should have a 3rd stall garage for a comfortable sleep until 2014.
