| The cistern taking form. Note all the steel in the foreground... a ton (or more) of lugging. |
Dan was busy this weekend getting things to a point of stability before heading for an off-island break. The cistern is pretty well formed and will be poured when he returns. In addition to holding 24,000 gallons of water in two separate compartments, this will serve as the base foundation for the cottage. A slab will be poured as a cap and back into the excavated hillside for the ground floor which will have 3 small bunk rooms. The main floor with kitchen/dining/living and another bedroom will be built above the slab.

| The box that is being built into the forms will create a spillway between the two compartments of the cistern. When the slab is poured over the cistern, this is where a through-hole will be left so both compartments will be accessible from one point. |
