Very nice. :D

I'll be curious to see the end result but keep the updates coming!

Are those concrete blocks you are cutting with a hand saw?

The blocks are a half concrete, half gypsum(not sure about that word giving any meaning) but they are very strong under pressure, and very easy to cut with a handsaw(-;

Wow, very nice!

On the other hand, you could have simply sealed the room and fill it with water ;)

These building blocks are the best invention since sliced bread! They also have decent insulation performance. Most of our house is built with these things :)
