Monday- Finally - the inspector came- approved the property line changes - everything ready to go to pour the footings
Tuesday-Footings done
Wednesday-Cement dry and wood sub floor begun
Thursday-insulation in subfloor, then everything covered since it might rain.
Friday - Waiting again for inspection. It's going to rain all weekend, so a big plastic roof covered everything. 
Meanwhile, I ordered samples for tile for the bathroom an they came - but too dark. Rob sent me off to DalTile to look at their selection - I got some samples. The saleswoman there said it would be 8 weeks to make the tile! oh dear. The tile selections are daunting. However, since the house is a 1924 Craftsman bungalow - I thought it would be best to stick somewhere close to the time period instead of veering off into all the stone and Spanish tiles so popular in Home Depot. I found an online source with a good selection of hexagon and subway tiles. I don't want just black and white - but who knows how expensive this part of the project will be. 
Also, meanwhile, our water heater decided to disintegrate, so the plumber, who was already coming to do some work on the water piping, came to replace the water heater and reinstall in on a platform, so it is now according to code as well - another $1000. sigh.
