A small bulldozer had smoothed out all the piles of dirt before I got outside with my camera. I was not long after that a crew of men arrived and began setting up the form for pouring the concrete. They were playing happy Mexican music on a radio. They pounded thick stakes in with huge sledgehammers. Two men stood facing each other and alternated pounding the stake. Sorry I missed that great picture.

This is what the house looked like at the end of the day.

These are the parts of our house construction that we missed when our house was being built, so it is fun to watch it happen next door.
