The block work is nearly done now. Click pictures for a larger view.
The sides and front wall won't have high block walls because those parts of the basement are above grade and will be framed out. The next step is to put vertical rebar in the holes in the block and then pump the holes full of concrete.
This view shows the garage side of the house foundation in the foreground and the rear retaining wall in the background. The wall tapers to mirror the contour of the mountain. This wall will also be filled with rebar and concrete. Like the foundation, it will be faced with stone when done so it won't look like a prison wall.
Another view of the basement, but taken from the top side. Looks like Lego blocks.
In case you wondered what the back side of the retaining wall looked like, here it is. This void will be filled with fill dirt or gravel after the concrete has set up.
