Start of cistern repair work part 2 was delayed by the necessity of a rescue mission. Someone small and furry had been nosey overnight and found themselves down a very big hole, trapped on the rim of a rusting metal bucket surrounded in black gloop.
They were persuaded to accept a ride in a pink bucket and promptly lept into the bushes as soon as they were above ground.
Rescue mission accomplished, we moved onto Step 1 - descend into cistern with essential equipment:
Step 2, create the biggest cow pat the world has ever seen:

Step 3, Fill the cracks, layer by layer:
Nearly there:
Steps 4, to fit a filter to the inlet (rain water from two barn roofs) and step 5, a system to drain the water to below ground level during winter, to prevent both problems from reoccurring, were saved for another day.
