Bay Window Bed
The back deck
started to rot away, so the summer of 2006, we removed the west part
of it. In doing so, we exposed the old cistern that was filed
in with dirt and rubble.
In this area we added
compost and in the spring of 2007 added some landscape plants.

The Cistern
Cisterns were commonly used near old farm houses in Blair. Rain
water was collection from the roof and channeled in to a pit in
the earth carefully lines with brick. This water was used
primarily for garden irrigation, and washing. |
