So, OK, an update, fellow Californians!

SATURDAY OVERNIGHT: Soggy ground removed and replaced with dry soil! Quick dry concrete laid at 3 a.m.

SUNDAY: Framing of house starts and is completed. Insulation, interior walls, exterior wall base, lovely dark grey clay tile roof laid (gasp, I am so jealous) beginning about 10pm (this pounding noise I can hear through my closed windows). I didn't get out to take pics on Sunday; slept much of the day with my head/chest cold.

MONDAY MORNING: Stucco applied, stone trim applied, exterior trim paint completed, solar panels laid SNAG Clay tiles are breaking easily as they were only recently poured/cured; tiles must be replaced following each installation of solar panel.

MONDAY AFTERNOON / EVENING: All of above completed and interior wall installation, floating underway.

MONDAY OVERNIGHT: Installation of interior cabinets, wall trims, doors/etc., painting to be completed.

TUESDAY: Flooring, porcelain and such to be installed. Stairway and wheelchair lift to be installed. Special design decorating to start.

UNBELIEVABLE!! The original house was destroyed Saturday morning, they're applying stucco to the exterior of the new 2-story 3,200 sq ft house Monday morning!!! 48 HOURS!!

I'm going to post 3-4 pics with notes and then turn the lights out for the night. I hope I've got the details above accurate. I'll look at it tomorrow to fly-speck them once again. Doubtless someone will spot some kind of inconsistency which might help me spot a speck.
