The walls of the basement are up and have been coated with plaster. Yesterday Clair was going to add a layer of waterproofing to the plaster if it was dry. 

You can see the opening on the left from the basement into the crawl space in the foreground. The "slit" to the right of the opening into the crawl space is an opening for electrical and heating. On the side of the crawl space is the foundation for the rear "porch".

There are two rows of cement blocks around the crawl space. A layer of sand will be added soon, spread evenly and later a three inch layer of concrete will be poured over the sand. When that is dry, more concrete blocks will be added to the walls surrounding the crawl space making those walls as high as the basement.

The foundation for the front "porch" is in the foreground.

In the foreground is the future garage.
