An abandoned cistern huh? Could have a lot of character I suspect. Can you supply a picture?

I hope this suffices. I took it from the basement. I had the opening cut with a wet saw into the concrete wall that separated the basement from the cistern. Those concrete blocks are the columns that hold up the middle part of the ceiling which is my garage floor. I got the idea one day while my grandson was toddling around the garage on his tricycle. I saw how big the room was without the cars in it, and thought, "under here is the same room the same size." Then the wheels started turning and that's where we are today. Working on getting fresh air into it now. Then comes the bones, the electric, the skin and the paint.
