LOL....  I like the SB timeline, perhaps it could be done in fun?  cartoon
like?  example:    ok, the bales are here and its time to put 'em in the
wall.....then a drawing of someone (pig?) lifting up a bale and it breaking
open on them, or something....  or a cartoon of folks showing them stomping
the stucco with bare feet (maybe furry like hobbits?)  and more folks in the
background passing handfuls of the stuff to the wall?

Tying not to embarrass myself here and still give an idea...
