    Yeah John but by the looks of it Dennis did his with a shovel and in that one pic he is just finishing.:D Dennis where are your progress pics? I had to dig into a hillside also and had 10' walls poured on 3 sides and still had to have 2 rows of block layed to keep the roof off the ground.

    Ward, sounds like yours is a lot like mine. I can walk right up on the roof behind the garage. I built mine back in 93.
