Ferrocement Rainwater Cistern
The first few years, they conserved cash by using a rainwater cistern for water rather than having a well drilled. They stored the rainwater from the roof in a ferrocement storage tank in the crawl space.
Sections of #3 (3/8") rebar were bent and wired together into a frame.
Behind the rebar are the holes leading to the manifold for the rock storage under the floor of the one-story north section of the house. The rock storage was never used because the solar roof was not generating sufficient heat due to the cloudy winter skies in northern Illinois.
