House Construction Photo Project #8

The end is in sight. Or at least I hope so: after three days of on/off hammering the yellowtongue boards onto the concrete floor, the parquetry guys zipped in and laid about 30 boxes of steelbark parquetry in a day!  Looks great, even in its raw, unfinished state...
