House Construction: Stucco work

The stucco work has started. The part I find interesting is that they chip at the cement with a hatchet to make the surface rough before they apply the stucco. Looks strange but it seems to work. The stucco work should be finished in the next two days.

The roof (nicalit) was delivered and can be put on as soon as the wood/plycem side panels are up--hopefully early next week.
