Nov 4, 2012 · We are still building our hillside home, with the walk-out basement to the west. The basement walls were poured about 6.5 years ago. House was all dried in about 3 years ago, we have electricty run to the house & plumbing roughed in. (a little more than roughed-in - we have a working toilet, hot & cold running water, shower, working kitchen sink)
