But apparently when you have a single level home built on pretty much solid bedrock, they just smack that foundation on top.
I took these photos on my way home from work today.
I took this today on my way between work and the parking lot, my walk of about 1 block. Not so many tourists out and about today. I had a nice lunch of quesadillas with chevré and honey at the local museum and read Illustrated Science, an article about stone age populations in Siberia. Next week is Stockholm week, when all the young clubbers come to Visby and spray each other with expensive champagne and spend mommy and daddy's money. 
These were such vibrant flowers. They are in the park, Almedalen, right across from the convention center.
This is what they did yesterday. It took about 8 hours of serious jackhammering with a big machine to dig this ditch for the sewer and electricity.
Stefan said they were swearing at us for making a y-shaped house as they were trying to fit the edges of the foundation together. Apparently they would have preferred a rectangular house - you would think they weren't getting paid by the hour or something.
The pipes sticking up there are from left to right: heater, guest toilet, laundry room, guest shower, guest sink. I typed guest stink just now - must have been a Freudian slip. Next they put on all that styrofoam you see in the background and then the in-floor heating.
Here is the view from the kitchen end.
It is hard to believe how much progress they have made in just a couple days.
