Electricians are used to digging out boxes (either the drywall isn't cut out and you have to search for the box, or the box is filled with spackle). The worst I ever saw was a job where the tapers intentionally filled every receptacle box along the kitchen counters full of spackle.
The drywall was installed horizontally and the seams did fall along the middle of the boxes, so there was no way to avoid getting spackle in them, but the tapers filled them in solid. Not sure if one of us sparkies had made someone mad or if they just thought they were funny. Paybacks are a *****.

Anyway, your house is coming along nicely! Looks great! My house is a few weeks behind yours (wiring and plumbing are roughed in, and drywall is delivered, waiting for insulation). Ours is a gray ranch also. Not as much land as you have though! Half-acre backed up to woods (conservation area).

Looks like you'll be moving in soon. Enjoy your new home!
