stem wall. then i should be doing the floor but i am afraid i am going to run out of cash so the floor is going to wait till the shell is done.

ordered the windows tonight. as soon as the stem walls are done i am going to order some material for the walls and start puting it together. wont be long now.

Making some progress!

Am I mistaken, or is your floor going to be stepped in height?

next is to build a wall on top of the footings. to the right it will be 12" tall but all the way to the left it will be 60" tall. then you fill it all in with dirt and be flat on the inside.

Just wondering how come you didn't do it all in one shot. Was it a money thing, or just didn't have the right forms? (damn concrete is expensive, lol) I've helped pore a couple garages and small buildings, and we dug the footings, did all the dirt work, formed up the walls and pored the floor all in one shot.
