At first it was a parking lot...sigh. Those were the days. We had no idea that in less than 3 months the trucks would move in, and the parking spaces would disappear.
In February 2008, our friends from our church in Dallas watched from our bedroom window as truck after truck drove away with sand and more sand. 24 hours a day, 6 days a week. Lots and lots of sand.

After the trucks were done hauling the sand, the cranes moved in. This crane was right outside our bedroom window. We could have had tea with the operator and never left the room. :)
Spring 2009. Scaffolding and clanging and banging.The building takes shape. The concrete pours were the loudest. All night long the trucks would come in. Even earplugs didn't help.
Took this picture today from my bedroom window. They are finishing the streets up. Not sure when the building will have power, but Mike says this summer should do it.
