A few days before the real action started. Church parking lot behind my house. They used half the lot for the 2 weeks they were around. The unveil of the lot is about to happen. Crowd getting ready to welcome new family. Red shirts are Real SL soccer team. Here comes the bus with the new family. And let the fun begin. This was about 8 pm. about midnight. Could not sleep much over all the noise. Payton had school still during this construction so we had to have a loud fan on to drown out the noise. Woke up the next morning to see they had progressed this much. Camera crews This is about 2 pm on the
