At the base of the wall, on top of the concrete footing, you can see the expandable waterstop we carefully installed at every joint that might seep water from the high water table. It is the black “bentonite” material with the yellow stripe. 

The wall reinforcing and the formwork for the cellar walls are ongoing.

Note the omnipresent coffee cup, the bane of the construction site… (I can assure you it was removed before the pour, not entombed in the wall…)
