Default need some help house training my new lab puppy

I've had my Lab puppy for two weeks now and he still doesn't seem to
make any distinction between peeing inside or outside. I'm really
struggling with this, because we don't seem to be making ANY progress.
hopefully, I'm the one doing something wrong and we can get headed in
the right direction.

he sleeps in his crate at night
we get up at 7:30 to go out and potty
at 8:00, he has breakfast in his crate and goes out about 8:30
same thing for lunch at 12:00
then dinner about 5:00
he gets water again at around 8:30

between those times, he doesn't get food or water. he is either
outside, in his crate, or I am watching him at every moment. so it's
not as if he's peeing in the house and I'm finding it later. he does
it right in front of me. sometimes ten seconds after we come in from
outdoors. it's also not like he's hiding or thinks he's done anything
wrong. he just pees when he gets the urge, no matter where he is.
well, I take that back, he doesn't eliminate in his crate.

when I do see him pee in the house, I yell "no! no!", immediately
pick him up and take him to the back door and say something like "we
potty outside" or "go potty". when I see him potty outside I always
make a point to praise him. #2 hasn't been a problem, just the
peeing. I've never scolded him for peeing inside, I just try to
startle him into stopping when I catch him in the act.

so what do you guys think? how can I get this turned around and going
in a positive direction?
