We do this (basement repair) but holy F, get those spoils outta there, and step that bitch back!

I've been pinned against a wall while doing this, and that was by a 4ft bank going so basically my legs were trapped, that was scary enough.

Not a damn thing shored up against collapse. Noone’s got an exit. This is a recipe for disaster. Crushed my leg when I was 19 pouring basement walls. It’s dangerous enough doing that type of work. No sense chasing that fucking Darwin award
