I built my own basement alone (Start to Finish)

I couldn't afford to hire someone to build a basement for me, so I did it myself. I didn't have any prior experience, but sometimes you just have to make things happen. I don't ever want to do it again, but I'm glad I took on the project. It took a few weeks for my body to heal, and a lifetime for me to enjoy it. The CMU blocks are 8" x 8" x 16" and the wall is 12 courses high. I poured every core and it turned out great. I'm looking forward to putting a house on it.
