Water for House and Stable Plan
Montreal Herald describes a single well system to supply both house and lower-level stable. A concrete cistern around the house well is built, with piping to the stable, using careful site leveling, framing, and concrete mixing guidelines for lasting, leak-free storage and flow.

A 9 by 70 by 25 foot wall requires Portland cement 69 barrels, gravel 82 yards, and stone fillers 21 yards. A wall with gravel cement and stone fillers is superior because fillers stored firmly in the mix save cement, and up to one fifth of the wall can be fillers without weakening the structure.
