First floor going up

This was the way the house looked by Friday when the framing guys left. Five of them are on the job and they are making very good progress. The temp has been over 100 every day, but the guys have worked a full day everyday. The dirt around the house site has been pulverized by the heavy equipment and the drought. There is 3-4 inches of "baby powder" dirt around. Tommy and Tim work for Ron and they are forming for the patio on the view side of the house.
They actually finished the outside walls of the first floor. I took this photo at noon on Friday.

Pouring the patio slab. They worked all day on Saturday and didn't finish until dark, so I don't have any finished photos, yet. It is washed pea gravel and it looks great.
