- Cement Block Walls in the Basement - October

 

Some of the walls in the basement were put up with cement blocks.

 

And, in the words of John Cougar Mellancamp..."And the walls, came tumbling down...and the walls, came tumbling down..."  A few days after they put these walls up, they were working inside with a small tractor and KNOCKED one of the walls DOWN.  Oh, the fun of building!!
