Cistern

Day 1

Scott spent a day digging, by hand, the hole for the cistern where the pump house used to be. The photo below is 30 inches down. He said he needs to go down to 104 inches. By the end of the day, he got down to about 50. He said he thinks it will take him one more day of hard digging to finish.

Day 2

Scott spent another day digging (9/14/2024). We got there about 1, I think, and he dug until about 7 pm. 

He'd like to go a little deeper, so another hour or so of digging ahead.

Day 3

Day 3 of digging (September 15, 2024), and Scott and Dave get the cistern into the hole.

Comparison:

This cistern will hold 1,700 gallons of water.
