OK, so it wasn't really Bubble-Wrap, but it sure looked like it when they were doing it! But before we get to that, I have some pics of the basement with the final load of stone slung around.
The basement.

While I was taking the above pics, the people were getting set up to "waterproof" the basement walls...
Spraying on what looks like a cross between oil and rubber or something...
Jen thought these rolls looked like bubble wrap.
Once she said it, I couldn't get that thought out of my head. :-)
We came back later in the day, after they were finished for a look at the finished product.
The "bubble-wrap" functions as a sort of drainage-channel for water that gets behind the membrane. The membrane has an almost cloth-like substance on the outside, probably to protect the rubber/plastic. Anything that gets behind the membrane naturally drains down to the footers, where the channel gives it an easy out to drain to daylight. Nice!
