+# Thornhill Construction Website — Status
+
+**Business:** Family deck/construction business, Placerville CA. Larry Thornhill (uncle) licensed since 1976, CSLB #336956. Tony owns Thornhill with Larry.
+**Domain:** thornhillconstruction.net (~$12/yr)
+**Email:** Larry@ThornhillConstruction.net
+**Canonical phone:** +1 (530) 306-4629 (Larry's cell) — use everywhere; landline 530-303-3950 is secondary only.
+**Repo:** Gitea `Tony_tech/thornhill-website` → `~/Projects/thornhill-website/` (static, single-file HTML, NO build step → drop into webroot).
+
+## Source of truth — interview
+- Raw transcript saved: [[larry-thornhill-interview.md]] (2026-08-30 walkthrough).
+- Confirmed: cell **530-306-4629** is canonical; **one** number everywhere. Landline 530-303-3950 exists but is NOT on site/ads.
+- **Yelp has a WRONG/dead** number somewhere (530-344-1504) — must fix. 2 reviews, 5 stars.
+- **Google Business: NOT listed** (must create/claim). Angi + White Pages listed — audit numbers.
+- History: trades 1969, licensed **1976** (not "1977"), moved to Placerville **2001** (25 yrs local). Semi-retired, **decks only**, 1–2 jobs/month.
+- Domain: buy back **thornhillconstruction.net** (~$12/yr); email **Larry@ThornhillConstruction.net**; total ~< $80 with hosting.
+- Photos owed by Larry: **min 6** usable before/afters, ideally 3 recent-work examples.
+
+## Current State (2026-08-30)
+
+- Built + pushed to Gitea (4 commits: initial, real Larry story, .net domain fix, real logo).
+- On-disk `index.html` is current and clean:
+  - Canonical phone in all `tel:` links (5× 530-306-4629), landline removed as primary.
+  - CSLB #336956 on-page (stat + footer) — legally required for CA contractor advertising.
+  - `<meta name="description">` present.
+  - Real assets: Larry's real logo (`images/logo.jpg`) + 8 real photos (hero-deck, project-house, gallery-1/2/3, craft, stairs-before/after); one placeholder reference remains.
+- Slacked/async review (Leonard review → Jimmy fixes) drove the above; fixes 1-4 confirmed applied.
+- Site demoed live earlier via a tunnel; final deployment pending.
+
+## Update (2026-08-31)
+
+- **Site signed off by Tony**; pushed to Gitea branch `ready-for-seo` (2026-08-30).
+- **Handed to Leonard (VPS) for SEO/CMS pass** via agent-discussion board: meta descriptions/title tags, Open Graph/Twitter card markup, Schema.org LocalBusiness structured data, sitemap.xml presence. Leonard acknowledged (will run audit).
+- Photos: Larry's 12 staged in `assets/images/decks/`, gallery wired (lazy-load + lightbox); Larry approved selection (✅). Logo still pending (placeholder SVG in place).
+
+## Open / Blockers
+
+- **Deployment pending.** DNS: `thornhillconstruction.net` currently resolves to `162.255.119.233` — NOT the VPS (`74.208.111.99`). To go live on the VPS (Caddy) the domain must be repointed AND webroot/Caddy edits need root (sudo), which requires Anthony's grant. Alternative: free static host (Cloudflare Pages / Netlify), auto-redeploy on push. Preview route: `*.afterthedemo.com` subdomain (no root needed) — awaiting Anthony's choice.
+- Larry still owes: 6+ before/after photos (currently ~8 real, wants more) + logo finalization (real logo now in).
+- Gitea URL field mentions `.com→.net` correction was applied (domain bought back).
+
+## Next Actions
+
+- Pick deployment path (VPS+Caddy vs Cloudflare/Netlify) once Anthony grants sudo/DNS decision.
+- Keep canonical number out of any landline references; collect before/after shots from Larry.
