The gravel has been put in. I wasn't able to take pictures of the initial pipe work that was laid down. The black felt material is a filter that is wrapped over the gravel (sort of like a big gravel burrito) before soil is brought in and compacted down. The material filters out fine soil from settling into the gravel, keeping the perforated pipes from getting clogged.
Here is a view that shows two parallel pipes being laid down. A drain was installed by the window but I forgot to take a photo of it.

Soon, they will completely back fill and I'll be able to walk up and into the basement!
