Assembling the basement forms            

Ramps to the left and right  

The left hand ramp is purely temporary, while the right hand ramp will eventually become access to the door into the master bedroom.  The ground slopes up somewhat in front of the house, facing west, to facilitate these access ramps.   Eventually, this level will be midway on the 8' wall, on the "front door" section.
