Basement walls

Well, the basement walls are almost finished! My camera battery ran out, so I'll have to post the finished ones later, but here are some pics of the walls going up! It may not look like much, but it was a ton of work! The first layer of blocks had to be measured all the way around to make sure it was straight and level, then they had to be glued to the floor. Then, if you look closely, you can see that we had to extend the rebar to about 12-13 feet high. The rest of the blocks had to be lifted up over the top and slid down onto the bars! Thanks to Bill and Winnie for the use of their scaffolding--made it SO much easier for us!
