Thanks for the input folks. I live in Michigan around Battle creek.
There are a few places around me that have basements even walkout
basements. A neighbor actually got under his house and pulled out the
dirt with a 5 gal bucket! took a while for that one. Also

I thought of that. Well if you are going to do that, build a trough
with a big augur to move the dirt out. Power it with an electric or
gasoline motor. Maybe you dont need a wood trough, just a ditch in
the dirt. Or a conveyer belt. But probably worth doing on good job
on it so not too much falls off. For a week, I had the job of
shoveling up the sand that fell off the conveyer belt at Ingot Molds
at Beth Steel in Bethlehem, Pa.

would it be
better to use the cinder blocks or actually using forms or is there
really a choice.
